What You'll Find at Calgary Airport

Calgary is a single-terminal airport that connects three concourses. We like that many travelers from across the globe have specifically cited Calgary as an airport that promotes a feeling of wellness and safety, especially for passengers who may need to stay overnight. Calgary is also notable for offering plenty of comfortable seating options to relax or perhaps even to sleep. Many of the chairs or benches scattered throughout are padded. The airport offers free and unlimited WiFi as well. A decent variety of shops and dining options are available, although most are standard. Economy class passengers can utilize any of the lounge areas to rest and relax, for a small fee. Calgary even has showers available.

What You Won't Find

Although there are plenty of areas where you could conceivably get a night of shuteye, the airport is not necessarily the quietest or dimmest for overnight passengers. The plethora of services offered here is a bit of two-edged sword; great variety during the day can turn into a nuisance at night. We recommend a good sleep mask coupled with earplugs for the best experience. As we touched on, there are some good places to grab a bite, but nothing particularly outstanding or noteworthy. We do like that some establishments operate at all hours for the benefit of red-eye passengers. Given this and the host of other benefits we'll go through, not a lot of downsides here.

Entertainment and Dining

There are actually so many things to do and see at Calgary Airport that we really can't list them all here. Some of our favorite dining establishments are naturally the ones that provide 24-hour service; A&W and Tim Horton's will provide standard but suitable fare.

In terms of entertainment or relaxation, you can choose from shops like the 24-hour Mac's Convenience, or Duty-Free options. There's an arcade in multiple locations, an area for massages, pet relief, and even a spa. For more serious matters you have access to a currency exchange, medical services, and a pharmacy. Children and adults alike will certainly enjoy learning about the outer reaches at the Calgary Spaceport.

Humble Beginnings

Calgary began life as merely a small hut with a tiny strip of land for a runway--this area served in a dual role as hangar and terminal building if you can believe it.

This was in 1914, and in 1940, the airport and its facilities were conscripted into the war effort. It remained in this state until 1949, at which time the government finally returned it to the city, and back to its commercial use roots. The city quickly built a new terminal to accommodate for increased foot traffic, but that terminal became obsolete just as quickly once the so-called "jet age" arrived a few years later.
