YYC

The international airport of Calgary (YYC) is a middle-size airport located in the north of the city. It is a convenient airport with many seating options, good coffee bars and restaurants and the fastest security check I’ve ever experienced. YYC has four runways and transports 18 million passengers per year. Initially used for military purposes the first civilians were starting their flights here in 1946. Today not only Air Canada and North-American airlines use the airport; also KLM, Condor and Edelweiss Air are landing here.

The reason for that is clear: YYC serves as the starting point for trips into the Canadian Rocky Mountains with Banff or Jasper as the destination. Car rental returns are in the multi-storey car park directly next to the terminal and clear signs will guide you there. If you want to spend some time at Calgary upfront to your return flight there are two good options: if you have plenty of time you can spend it at the Heritage Park open-air museum, otherwise The Hangar flight museum isn’t far away from the airport.
