Located around 17 kilometres northeast of downtown Calgary, Calgary Airport is Alberta Province’s busiest airport and the fourth-busiest in the whole of Canada. Travelling to the airport from the city by car usually takes around 25-30 minutes but it’s always recommended to leave yourself plenty of time in case of unexpected traffic.
Both short and long term parking are available at the airport itself, but for cheap parking options you may want to look a little further out. There are several parking facilities that aren’t affiliated to the airport but are within easy reach, many of which include free shuttles to and from its domestic and international terminals as part of their deals. Here are three we’d recommend.
