Getting to Edmonton: Air Canada...Disability friendly airline

  • I purchased a last minute fare to Edmonton, Canada with Air Canada. Excellent pricing made a last minute trip affordable.

    I had to do the "Western Canada airport tour" to get there. LA to Vancouver, Vancouver to Calgary, Calgary to Edmonton. Having a disability made this slew of airports a bit overwhelming. But I was pleasantly surprised when Air Canada came to my assistance and helped me navigate the airports,customs and getting me and my luggage to my next flight.
    This was not just in one airport but in all of them both on arrival and departure.

    Air Canada was a comfortable and clean airline with superior staff and crew. I highly recommend this airline, especially for the disabled traveler.

    Is it midnight yet??

    This airport is about the same size as the one in my hometown of Albuquerque, but handles so much more volume! This airport never shuts down, as there are red eye flights zooming in and out of here constantly.

    Directional signs are clear and easy to follow. The car rental counters are in the parking structure, but some of the easiest to access in any airport I've traveled to the past year. Tim Horton's is open 24/7, as is the duty free shop (only one and quite pricey).

    This airport is located on the south end of Edmonton ... actually 2 communities south of Edmonton in Leduc - practically right off of Hwy2 - making Leduc a great place to book a hotel room if you arrive late, or need to leave early ......

    I visited with employees from Air Canada (they were on a break, I was really early for my flight home) for quite a while, and they were personable and funny as we chatted away. When I mentioned my flight time, they knew the airline and all .... for despite the constant flights in and out, this airport is sort of like a small town .... every one knows every one else's business.

    Though we don't usually have many choices when arranging flights to our destination of choice, in this case, you'll be pleased with the airport you end up at ....... the ease of access as well as the staff really help make this a stress free place :)

    Within North America, the Greyhound Bus Services is very reliable. There are also daily flights from almost any city in North America to Edmonton.
    Board an ETS bus at any designated ETS bus stop. These are marked by ETS bus stop signs located along bus routes. Before boarding the bus please make sure that you have correct change or valid fare media.

    If you are waiting for your bus in a bus shelter, please watch for your bus to approach and leave the shelter in time to be visible to the bus Operator. Stand back from the curb and pay particular attention to icy conditions that may exist either on the sidewalk, or the roadway. Wait for the bus to come to a complete stop before nearing the curb.

    Upon boarding the bus, deposit the correct cash fare or ticket in the fare box to your right, or present the pass you are using to the Operator. Please be sure to show the Operator an unobstructed view of your pass and surrender it to the Operator if you are requested to do so. If you pay a cash fare or use a ticket or proof of payment from the LRT and intend to use another bus to get to your destination, please ask the Operator for a transfer.

    After showing the Operator your pass or paying your fare please move toward the back of the bus and find a seat. If you have packages with you, please do not occupy the entire seat with them, place them on your lap and allow others to be seated.

    If the bus is crowded and there is standing room only, please move toward the back of the bus and grip either an overhead handrail, or a support post firmly. Be prepared for the bus to move as it can move abruptly and catch you off balance.

    If you’d like more information on the Route that you are using, feel free to take a Route Brochure from the panel directly behind the Operator. You may also want to take the latest edition of In-Transit to see what’s new at ETS.

    To let the Operator know you want to get off the bus you must pull the cord located above the windows. This cord will ring a bell that will let the Operator know to stop at the next designated ETS bus stop. You only have to ring the bell once, repeated pulling of the cord is not necessary. Please be aware of your surroundings and leave plenty of time for the bus to stop safely at your bus stop by pulling the cord as far in advance of your stop as you can.

    Remember that the bus will stop at the next scheduled ETS bus stop, so make sure it’s the one you want. Prepare yourself to depart the bus by readying any packages or belongings you may have before the bus stops.

    Exit by the rear doors of the bus. On some models of ETS buses you are required to remain off the lower step until a green light indicates it is safe for you to exit. It is best to remain on the upper level of the bus floor until the bus has come to a complete stop. Some models require that you push the doors to exit, others have doors that will open automatically for you. When exiting the bus, make sure that all packages and garments are clear of the doors before they close behind you. Be aware of icy or slippery conditions that may exist on the sidewalk when you exit the bus. After exiting the bus, move away from the curb to allow for safe movement of the bus away from the stop.

    By air : Edmonton is serviced by the Edmonton International Airport and the City Centre Airport. The latter is for short-haul regional flights only (mostly in Alberta). The International Airport south of the city has direct scheduled flights to all parts of Canada, and several US hubs (eg Los Angeles, Minneapolis). A taxi ride from the airport to downtown costs around $35. EIA operates a SkyShuttle service, using 14 passenger vans, running between the airport and various locations in south, west and central Edmonton. The fare is $11 one way, $18 return. See www.edmontonairports.com for details and schedule.

    By land : Greyhound has a large bus depot in downtown Edmonton (103 St - 103 Ave, 2 blocks north of Bay Station) and pickup/drop off points in other parts of the city. Red Arrow operates a popular and comfortable service between Edmonton and several locations in the province. See Red Arrow (www.redarrow.pwt.ca) for more information.

    The national railroad - VIA Rail's (www.viarail.ca) only line in the province runs through Edmonton. The Canadian line runs from Vancouver to Toronto, passing through the majestic Rocky Mountains.

    By private vehicle: * Edmonton is located in central Alberta. Major highways running through the city include TransCanada 16 (aka Yellowhead) running east-west, and Highway 2, which is the primary north-south highway in Alberta. The start of the route to the Alaska Highway begins just west of the city.

    Driving times: 3- hours to Calgary, 3+ hours to Jasper, 4 hours to Banff, 14 hours to Vancouver.

  • Edmonton International is a medium sized airport accepting many direct/non-stop flights from many cities throughout North America.
    Rent a Car if you plan to stay long or want to see the entire city! If you want to spend time downtown only, use the subway, its free for use in the downtown area.

    Edmonton International Airport is the 5th busiest airport in Canada by passenger traffic. It is also one of 7 Canadian Airports that has US Border pre-clearance facilities. The airport is located outside of Edmonton in Leduc County to the south, so transportation to and from the airport will need to be arranged as there is no public transportation available to the airport. Fortunately, there is an airport shuttle available at reasonable cost. Taxi service is also available, but costs $40-45 to travel to the university area or downtown. The drive between the airport and downtown is about half an hour in normal traffic.

  • Edmonton has a pretty decent bus system called ETS-Edmonton Transit System. It costs $2.25 for an adult and $2.00 for a youth or senior for an hour and a half. You get a transfer when you get on the bus so you can switch to another bus during this time without paying again. It is quick and convenient to get to and from major places, ie. Downtown, Whyte Avenue, and West Edmonton Mall. We also have an LRT (light rail transit) which is very fast but very ineffeicient as it hardly covers any of the city. Again, very fast if you are going to and from Downtown to Whyte Ave., but it doesn't go to the west end or far into the north, south or east end. ETS has a comprhensive website (www.takeets.com) with all the routes listed and a trip planner. They also have a phone number if you need help planning a trip.
