So what it's an ugly airport in comparison to YVR?
But it's so easy to check through and the initial agents are the best that I've encountered (and the one that I had LIVED in Richmond!)
I was lost on the way to the airport; if not for the ease of the check in and the patience of the agents, I would never have made my flight.
Going through security is a breeze and it's hilarious to me that my security is being done by the same kids who look like the ones working in the food court. But that's another story. I'm sure I could even leave my shoes on. I didn't have to take out my ipad. It's Calgary, after all. No terrorists flying through here (and I hope that none are reading this, just in case).
Try to avoid the food at the airport if you just have a short flight, though. (yuck). Smoothies were good, and right at the gate, and service, of course was friendly.
