    Flew in from the US and had one of the most smooth, pleasant, and frankly beautiful border crossings of my life. It’s not that this airport has grand architecture, but rather an obvious attention to all the little details that come together to create a magnificent experience. I was just happy being here - and the friendliness and efficiency of everyone made the experience doubly pleasant. A wonderful airport!

    Great airport! I've had nothing but positive experiences at YYC. It's very clean, the staff are always so helpful and friendly, there are plenty of places to eat and sit, and there are lots of interesting things to look at. It's a beautiful airport and it's fairly easy to navigate through. They have an indoor pet relief area in Concourse B that has both turf for dogs and litter boxes for cats (my cat approves). I always enjoy my time here in between flights.

    Our home airport has been good to us for many years now. The international side is very modern with high ceilings giving an open space concept. The domestic side is a bit older though they have renovated over the years. On the international side, there is a food court though during this pandemic, most of the stores and food stalls are closed. While open, there are Starbucks, OPA, Manchu Wok, and Burger King. Overall, it's a nice airport with not too much walking needed. Washrooms are clean and there are water fountains to refill empty bottles.

    This is the best, most modern, well run airport we've been to in North America. It's a pleasure going there for connecting flights. Lots of food options and comfortable places to sit. The customer service is outstanding. It's a stunning facility with a modern anesthetic throughout. It's very clean. There is a rainbow crossing at the lane for the busses. There is a very beautiful selfie art installation, too.

    What a great airport! I flew to Las Vegas yesterday on the 3:35 flight. The staff are so nice yet strict. They have Tim Hortons!!! I bought a shirt from the shop at the entrance. They have a designated smoking section out front thank you. It was easy to maneuver around. There was an employee working around E94 and I was on her side. The customers were in the wrong and blocking the path, and weren’t following her orders. She gets an A+. Hope to be back again soon!

    Calgary international airport has all the features you would expect from one of Canada’s major airports. There are lots of places to eat, a duty free, money exchanges and lots of aircraft parked around the gates. I enjoyed looking at the view of downtown Calgary while waiting for my flight. They even have a private in airport tram that provides passengers a ride to save time and energy walking the long strips of the airport terminals. There is also staff wearing white cowboy hats and they are very happy to help. The problem is there are only a few of them and I couldn’t find them when I needed help. If there was something I would change is they should have map displays of the airport showing where special things are located, such as; money exchanges, the information desk and the airport lounges. I wasted a lot of time looking for the hotel bus shuttle phone and that frustration could have been mitigated with this airport map displayed on floor level. I enjoyed my brief time in Calgary and at YYC. If you like my reviews, photos or videos then giddy up and hop along to the like button

    I’m giving this a five star review solely on their golf cart shuttles! Great drivers and such a fun way to get around the airport. There was a really long line at the security checkpoint for the C gates and I was told to go through the D gate checkpoint which was a lot faster with way less people. This is probably a reminder for me, but to remember to take out laptops and all liquids into a clear bag no more than 100ml. A very clean airport, everything here looks incredibly new and well kept.

    It is a much better experience than when I was here four years ago. I flew in from Kelowna and didn't have to go through a border control leading into my connecting flight. I didn't have to sit on the ground this time either. Tons of seating during my layover! And there's a Chili's near D80!

    Very beautifully laid out airport with the beautiful traditional, local Indigenous artwork throughout its interior inside the terminal. The terminal is enormous, though equipped with adequate signage for easy navigating through each gate zone in the terminal. Lots of shops and places to eat. Many seating areas to rest and charge your devices, get a nice panoramic view surrounding the airport to the city. One of the best international airports I had the pleasure of spending my long layover to connect to my next flight during my recent trip and look forward to passing through here again on my next trip in western Canada.

    I recently had the pleasure of traveling through Calgary International Airport (YYC), and I must say it was an exceptional experience. One of the standout features was the seamless YYC Link access, making it incredibly convenient to move between terminals. This efficient connectivity saved me a lot of time and effort, allowing for a stress-free transition during my layover. The airport's array of food counters was impressive. No matter your culinary preference, there was something to satisfy every taste bud. The variety and quality of the food options exceeded my expectations, making my dining experience at the airport truly enjoyable.

    Clean nice airport BUT They’re still requiring masks 😷 You’ll want to get dropped off at E terminal if you’re flying internationally. If you’re returning a rental car and flying internationally, you have about a 10-12 minute walk. Carts are freely available. The Security line was utter chaos. Completely disorganized and staff wasn’t the friendliest. They were very short and snippy with me when I simply asked if I needed to remove my laptop. You have to remove your shoes. TSA pre check doesn’t work here. And they do not provide foot covers. You might have luck with Nexus if you frequently fly between Canada and America. Half of the people in line were flagged for their bags to be checked but only on the right lane! Some of the reasons were inconsistent and ridiculous. Passengers were complaining that they’re seasoned travelers and they’ve never seen anything like this. There is U.S. Customs which is cool to skip a step after landing.

  • 4/5 Su R c. 1 year ago on Google
    Neat,well organized and beautiful Airport with excellent facilities,helpful staff and transportation service .The airport has a lot of amenities like well marked direction boards,clean restaurants , airport is adorned with sculptures depicting local lifestyle and has even a Waterfall and Kids playground! Luggage Service was very good fast! There is a screen that tells you how much long you need to wait to get your luggage! Very convenient and useful! The airport is huge with domestic and international wings but with the electric vehicle you can reach anyplace in no time .They have well marked stations for the electric vehicle pickup and drop. Moreover, the airport buses are also convenient and punctual and the best of all, it only cost you $3.5! Amazing! Really enjoyed and appreciated! Parking is easily available outside the airport but it's a lil pricier.

    Great overall airport. It is nice where you don’t have to take a shuttle. Employee are efficient. The most important item to remember is if you are traveling as a family to make sure to separate your toiletries into different carry on or backpacks. You can only have enough to put in a small ziplock bag for each carry on or backpack. Airport security will check your bags.

    A very massive airport with multiple daily flights. Flights from this airport connect major destinations in Canada such as Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina, etc. It also serves as a port of entry (POE) for major international airlines from all over the world. Staff courtesy is top notch, and easy to navigate. Airport is peaceful and quiet. Really nice!

    2022 June 4★ YYC airport Calgary international airport is nice. A good size for the city. It's got a nice shuttle bus running inside between terminals which is cool. Ok overall. Lots of hand sanitization stations throughout. Washrooms could be bigger. Seems like there's only a few stalls.

    It's not a huge airport and was moderately crowded when I took a domestic flight on a weekday afternoon. There are many options to eat with some open 24*7. I found the staff to be polite, including the staff at security check, which is always great!

    The walk is so long from one end to the other, but I was so surprised in a good way that they had electric shuttles to take you through the different areas of the airport!!! Such a great idea. My gate/waiting area had no AC and it was really hot and hard to breathe with a mask on so that's -1 star.

    The Calgary International Airport (YYC) is a great Canadian airport. It has a few lounges, is clean and modern, and is easy to navigate. The only downside is that the US border will take a while to cross before you can enter the terminal. If you have precheck, you can skip the line at security but you still have to take off your shoes and take out your laptop.

    Great, contemporary, and beautiful Airport with excellent transportation service and lot of amenities, restaurants and even sculptures and Waterfall and Kids playground! Luggage Service was swift! There is a screen that tells you how much long you need to wait to get your luggage! Very convenient and useful! Have been travelling across the country a lot, and Calgary Airport Luggage Service (Air Canada) is 1# fast! Moreover, the airport buses are also convenient and punctual and the best of all, it only cost you $3.5! Amazing! Really enjoyed and appreciated!

    Calgary airport is one of the cleanest airports I've ever been to. More than enough people to help you when you need it. When you compare this airport from airports from other countries, you really begin to realize how much better it is.

    It was a real quick connection. 20 minutes from gate 57 to 17. Most of the moving walkways were working but not all.

    Busy international airport. Washrooms available throughout the entire place. Some kids areas as well. The security check was very slow but understandable. Spacious layout. Relaxing areas and lots of food options including Tim Hortons and Chillis.

  • 4/5 Luke L. 1 year ago on Google
    I was only doing an international flight connection here, it was quite easy to navigate and know the direction you need to go. Very spacious and big, and a lot of walking is required. The highlight I noticed in this airport is that there is a very cute and tiny terminal shuttle that drives within the airport. the road will pause you from Crossing when the shuttle is going through Maybe I'm just not good at noticing it but it would be nice if there is a map showing the shops and all the terminal's positions

    Not bad - At security check flow is normal with double UR stations 👍

  • 5/5 Mrs. K. 2 years ago on Google
    Airport is HUGE but they have an indoor tram to solve all that. Well lit and modern, offer a ton of food selections. The airport is easy to navigate despite it size as it is signed very well using a simple A, B, C system.

  • 5/5 Amy W. 2 years ago on Google
    Our airport is not that bad compared to other places like Vancouver. Go in early and remember to bring the exact weight for your luggage. Besides that the wait is not long and most flights are on time if you book for early mornings.

    Beautiful airport. Good service. Cooperative staff.

  • 4/5 Vlad 2 years ago on Google
    Arrived yesterday. First time in Canada. Long waiting for baggage. Modern place, quickly filled out the customs declaration on a digital machine. The officers are not rude, they have issued a work permit. Thank you very much!

  • 5/5 Noel N. 2 years ago on Google
    Calgary keeps their airport clean and efficient. I always like the sweeping view of the mountains and the city as I go between gates. Lots of food options. Could use a little more seating at some gates, however.

  • 1/5 Greg C. 3 years ago on Google
    The most incompetent airport authority in Canada. Insanely high airport improvement fees due to the money they waste on poorly designed facilities (especially the new Intl Terminal). Parking lots are overpriced and poorly run and don't adjust rates based on market trends. They eliminated the prior 30 min free parking and that's created bad traffic congestion in arrivals. Terribly run airport.

  • 5/5 Mali D. 3 years ago on Google
    Always a pleasant experience traveling through this airport as it's very well managed, clean and organized. Very easy to navigate. Numerous staff on place to help you with whatever you might need for your travelling. Shops, coffee shops and restaurants are available. Rental cars available and close to departure/arrivals.

    With all the problems in the world today. Despite a goverment destroying the economy under the presence of the virius. The staff of AC was spectacular.. they worked thru all the issues with a smile and GENUINE CARE. 10 starts for help when i needed it You have a life customer now

    Air Conditioning would be nice today as its 29 outside and about 39 in right now...

  • 1/5 Bruce T. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome walk through the airport the other night. I stopped by Westjet customer service for about 30 minutes only to find out they couldn't help me at all. They also let me know that I didn't have time to go to the lounge but it was just as well because it was closed anyway. My connection was a half hour late leaving but the good news was I didn't have to struggle with a bunch of luggage when I got off the plane because they never put it on the plane! Outstanding

  • 4/5 Michael B. 3 years ago on Google
    Sinage about the terminals that are closed could be a lot better. Security was good but social distancing and mask enforcment was lacking

  • 4/5 Mike M. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice airport but not enough places open for food!

  • 5/5 Wilbur L. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a good way pick you up to downtown by 300 bus. Just go to the front door when you take your luggages. Remember buy a day pass ticket only 11 dollars for adult because this bus can not accept the single ticket 3.5 dollars for adult.

  • 5/5 Paul M. 2 years ago on Google
    So far the best airport in Canada. It’s busy airport but you don’t feel it. Very easy to get there and very easy to oriented inside the airport. Always an amazing experience!

  • 4/5 Leah M. 2 years ago on Google
    Airport wasn’t busy. Security was quick. Help was readily available. Pathway to shuttle from security D is not well marked. There is a large symbol that makes you think if you go through the doors towards the shuttle you will be out of security and yet there are no signs telling you to move forward so I had to go back quite a ways to find someone to ask. Signage at A, B and C is better.

  • 5/5 Momma T. 2 years ago on Google
    We travel from Calgary often and usually have no problems at this airport. Its a small airport, especially for being one of the "big" ones in Canada. The staff at the airport are usually very nice. I fly multiple times a year and have been flying with a little human lately, and they are extremely gracious and helpful, even at security. We recently arrived back from Mexico during Covid and the entire reentry process was managed so efficiently and in a timely manner!

  • 4/5 Luis F. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice airport, simple to walk or commute by the interior train line. Friendly user, not much choice for buying or eating once you are curbside. So be preventive!

  • 5/5 Yuan �. 2 years ago on Google
    Finally!!!came to Calgary again!! The customs personnel are very friendly. Compared with the US customs, it is really different. There are many guidance personnel, which reduces the waiting time a lot. In the epidemic era, it has been a long time. My family~~♡♡♡♡♡

    Amazing airport -International and Domestic wings are easily accessible. Neat, very organized and very convenient process for boarding flights to different destinations.

  • 4/5 B S. 2 years ago on Google
    Clean and convenient. Rental cars are available at the airport for pick up and drop off. Plenty of seats, restaurants and shops while you wait for a connection flight. There’s a Starbucks, as well as vending machines. There’s some areas that needs upgrading.
