So the first thing you may be considering is how to get to Winnipeg - or more to the point, we should start by explaining where Winnipeg is! Winnipeg is in the heart of Canada, a large city on the prairies built at the trading point where two major rivers, the Red and Assiniboine meet. For more info, you can look at (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnipeg).
Flying is probably the best way of getting to Winnipeg, although the more environmental of you may consider sailing or swimming across the Atlantic. Air Canada (http://www.aircanada.com) run daily flights to Winnipeg from Heathrow via Montreal and Toronto. United Airlines (http://www.united.com/) also flies into Winnipeg from Chicago, although this route will put you in contact with our friends at US customs. Finally I have recently been alerted to direct flights from Gatwick via Finn Air through a subsidiary, Go Travel Direct (http://flights.gotraveldirect.com). I think Finn Air have taken over the old flight plans of our deceased friends at Zoom Airlines.
If you are considering combining your Winnipeg visit with more travel in Canada, Westjet is a lower-budget cross-Canada airline that has been highly praised for their service (see www.westjet.com). Remember that Canada is a huge country with wide empty spaces, so travel by car should be carefully considered - give yourself plenty of time for any road trips! Travel by coach is also a possibility, but can be rather slow if inexpensive (see www.greyhound.ca).
