I have to travel from Winnipeg, Manitoba to Minneapolis in
December.The only cheap flight I've found (Air Canada) is almost 8
hours as I have to connect in Toronto. Is there a faster and
relatively cheap way to do this trip by air or rail?

Thanks

Don't know about the cheap part, but NWA shows 5 non-stops from
Winnipeg YWG to Minneapolis MSP every weekday, three on Saturday and
four on Sunday. Flying time is about 1.5 hours.

I picked a random date in December, Tuesday Dec 4, and am using NWA's
World Timetable application with Schedule Data Release 2007.11A.

You can try Bearskin Airlines and take the NWA prop from Thunder Bay
down to MSP.

Definitely not by rail. The nearest cross-border passenger train
is at Niagara Falls.

Thanks for the tip but it''s the cheap part that's the problem as Air
Canada's west to east and back to west is only $129
