I've saved my 100th Yelp review for good old YYC.
Why? I'm not sure. I think it might be because I had fond memories as a kid waiting to greet relatives as they arrived or dropping off departing family, mainly because my parents would let me play video games and pinball in the arcades as we waited.
The arcades are still around in various sections of the airport, which is great. The games haven't changed too much as barely any companies are creating new cabinets, but it's nice for the nostalgia factor.
The selection of shopping at the airport is varied, which always amazes me. My favourite part of this airport is the Food Court, mainly because they have a Swiss Chalet express (which is licensed too!). I love Swiss Chalet chicken, and to my knowledge, this is now the only place in the city to get it in a food court outside of hitting one of their restaurants.
The displays on the baggage carousels at baggage claim are some of my favourites to look at and explore whenever I'm waiting for someone, with my favourites being the Calgary Stampede display and the Royal Tyrell Museum's (dinosaurs!).
My only beefs with this airport is that I wish it was serviced by transit better, with stops at the various airline sections of the terminal. It'll be interesting to see what happens when the new International terminal opens. I look forward to exploring that section when it's online.
