Calgary

• Follow signs to passport control immediately on landing
• Have onward boarding pass and hotel/address ready for questions
• Calgary has US preclearance for flights to the United States, so US-bound passengers clear American customs before boarding. Inbound primary inspection uses NEXUS kiosks for enrolled travellers and ePassport gates for most others.

Route 100 bus is a free YYC service to McKnight-Westwinds C-Train station, then the Blue line reaches downtown 7th Avenue stations in 25 min. Allied Airport Shuttle and taxis run a flat C$45 to the centre.

• Leave enough buffer - trains run to a schedule and can be delayed
• Buy your return ticket in advance if possible
• Set an alarm 65 min before your departure gate closes

• Re-entry security at YYC typically takes 10-20 min
• Check your gate - it may have changed while you were out
• Liquids bought in the city cannot pass security - finish or bin them
