"12"^^ . "5"^^ . "Great Gateway Into Canada!\n\nSITREP\n\nYYC is probably one of the most modern airports I've been in. At least to the airports I'm used: SMF (Sacramento); SEATAC (Seattle); FLL (Ft. Lauderdale); SAN (is this San Diego or San Antonio? I can never remember, but for THIS example, PRETEND BOTH), etc. - and I am MUCH more impressed the airport metrics here.\n\nTHE SETUP\n\nThings I LOVED:\n\n* The nice layout of gates (at least on the International side)\n* The quick trip through Customs\n* The hyper clean and ample restroom space\n* The plethora of shops, restaurants and coffee stops\n* The Very rational arrangement of rental agencies in centralized parking garage structure\n* The sweet little ladies in cowgirl hats, just WAITING to take you to your door-destination!\n* The gorgeous art, the beautiful decor, and the great seasonal decorations all throughout the airport.\n\nThings I have to admit weren't great, but weren't THAT much of a problem:\n\n* DAM! This airports HUUUUGE! When one of those lil ladies sidled up to me with your motorized cart and asked, \"Young man? Would you like a ride?\", dam my pride - I just said, \"*huff* No no, *pant*, I'm doing okay! I need the workout... *wheeeeeeeeeeeze*. I'm going on a hike tomorrow. *face wince*. :D\n\nTHE LOWDOWN\n\nYCC, I'd love to just plop you down in place of my hometown airport, but that's just me (I can be seduced easily)... ;)"^^ .
