Useful tips for plane travellers
• Ensure you check the timing of your stopover as some flights, particularly with WestJet and Air Canada, may require a longer layover in cities like Toronto or Winnipeg, which can extend your overall travel time significantly.
• At Calgary International Airport (YYC), follow the signs to the domestic arrivals and look for the clear layout that separates luggage claim and ground transportation; be prepared for possible slight delays in receiving checked baggage due to high volume during peak travel times.
• Expect taxi fares from Calgary International Airport to downtown Calgary to be around CAD 40 to 50; to save on costs, consider using public transit options like the Calgary Transit Bus 300, which connects the airport to the city center for a much lower fare.
