What to Expect When Landing in Deer Lake

Deer Lake Regional Airport was renovated and expanded in 2007, so you can expect a modern facility with plenty of amenities. The airport is small but spacious. To get from the airport to your hotel you have a few transportation options. A shuttle bus operates to Corner Brook, Pasadena, and other destinations and taxi service is also available. Public transportation in Western Newfoundland is limited, however, and if you plan on visiting Gros Morne National Park or driving the Viking Trail then you will need to rent a car, which can also be done at the airport. Also, keep in mind that Newfoundland has its own time zone which is a half hour ahead of Atlantic Time.
