Calgary airport #3 in the world

Calgary does have a good airport. But service has declined over the years. There is no way it is better than Changi, Singapore (#4).

When Calgary first opened, luggage would be on the carousel by the time you got there. Those days are long gone.

Many travelers find themselves passing through Canada’s Calgary International Airport on their way to Banff and the Canadian Rockies in ski season, but there’s fun to be had no matter what time of year you find yourself in this airport.

Sign up for a “white hat welcome ceremony” and be greeted at your gate by a group of white-cowboy-hat-wearing volunteers, who’ll present you with your very own hat and Calgary-style welcome.

Proceed to baggage claim, where conveyer belts are anchored by rotating exhibits ranging from life-sized local animals to dinosaurs (all stuffed, of course). If you’ve got some time to kill, the airport also touts over 110 shops and restaurants with a “street-pricing” philosophy, guaranteeing prices won’t be padded.
