 Alberta's Prairies by scottishvisitor
We left Manchester at 7.55am & arrived in Calgary at 9.55am Hardly seemed any time at all until you add on the time difference.
After all my trepidations I found myself enjoying this comfortable & relaxed flight.
The picture shows the prairies which goes on for many many miles. Leave a Comment Theme: AirplaneWebsite: flyzoom.com

Arrivals - International:
After arriving, proceed through Canadian customs and immigration. Present the customs declaration to the agent and then relinquish the form to leave the customs hall with your bags. Yes, you must pickup your luggage, even if you have a continuing or connecting flight. For continuing flights, drop bags on a luggage belt beside the customs hall and then proceed to your gate. Allow half an hour from the time your plane arrives until you leave the customs hall.
Arrivals - Domestic:
Flights arriving from other Canadian cities arrive at "A" gates for Air Canada or "D" gates for West Jet. If you are connecting to another flight in Calgary, simply proceed to the next gate. Only piers A and B are connected behind security. If you change airlines, you will likely have to exit and enter through security again. Allow half an hour for your baggage to show up on a carrousel.
Departures - US:
Flights to the United States pre-clear US customs in Calgary. This means an additional line to negotiate on your way to the plane. Find the US departures area; grab a couple of US customs forms from the tables; find the line for your airline check-in; fill out the customs forms while you wait; get your boarding pass(es); line up for US customs and immigration (stand behind the red lines on the floor until called forward by an agent); answer the agent's questions; proceed forward and relinquish your customs form; place your luggage on a luggage belt (there are belts for different airlines, so ask an attendant if in doubt); proceed to the security screening. In the mornings, when all of the flights seem to take off at the same time, allow at least two hours before your boarding time.
Departures - Domestic and International:
Simply check-in, get your boarding pass(es), dump your bags and clear security. Security has been fairly quick recently, although in the mornings, lines can be quite long. I would allow at least an hour and a half before your boarding time. Leave a Comment

We flew to Calgary from Toronto's Pearson Airport using WestJet.
We felt the flight was good value. It cost around $270 dollars each (approx £123 each - including taxes etc), and took approximately 2 hrs.
Staff were friendly, services was good. We were also lucky enough to get good weather so managed to witness some stunning views, especially as we were preparing to land.
Not the only company to fly from Toronto to Calgary, but we had no complaints and happily recommend WestJet to anyone in the area. We would happily use them ourselves again. Leave a Comment

Calgary International Airport would be the most common way to arrive in Calgary, but you can also take a train or a bus.
Calgary has a decent public transportation system (buses and C-train) but it is not that difficult to get around by car. If you are visiting during Stampede, it is pretty much your only option as parking can be a b*!#h! Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 The curb ..... by kymbanm
Landing in the international terminal, I took the glass walkway over the top of the departure gates. There was artwork, children play areas, and comfortable seating at most of the gates I passed. The journey from my gate, to customs and immigration was not very long, despite landing at the furthest gate :)
After exiting immigration, I entered a nicely laid out arrival hall - filled with waiting friends and family. There was a wonderful sculpture of horses (sorry, the pic was horrid, I had to delete it ..), and I again noticed the duplication of signs: English and French versions were everywhere.
In case you are interested, there is a Tim Horton's in the arrivals hall ...... you know, just in case :)
I'm also proud of my very first CANADIAN passport stamp!!! Woo-Hoo!!!! Leave a Comment

Well, after using some of the busier airports around the world, and having to spend along time waiting to get through customs, Calgary was a pleasnat experience. it might be different at busier times, but from what ive been told, it never takes more than 30 minutes. me, I was able to get straight to a desk, few questions later and I was through ready to collect my bags!
Really cannot fault Calgary Airport for the service, just BA planes seem to get the longest walk to get to the customs officers!!!!
Very clean, easy to navigate and easy to out of, great system!
