YYC airport guide

The terminals and finding your gate

YYC

Which half of the building you need, which floor, and why the United States gates work differently.

Two terminals, one roof

Calgary has two terminals. The Domestic Terminal holds Concourses A, B and C, for flights within Canada, and the International Terminal holds the D and E gates. There is no train inside the airport; an electric cart runs along the connection corridor for anyone who needs help with the walk.

Domestic Terminal
Concourse A, Concourse B, Concourse C
International Terminal
Concourse D, Concourse E

Which floor you want

Each terminal has a Departures level and an Arrivals level, and the Domestic Terminal adds a mezzanine by its food court. Past security, the International Terminal divides into the International Departures hall for the D gates and the U.S. Departures hall for the E gates.

Departures USA
The U.S. Departures hall, past Pre-Board Screening E: the E gates, where travellers clear U.S. customs before boarding.

The International Departures hall, past Pre-Board Screening D: the D gates.
International Terminal · Arrivals
International arrivals leave the customs-controlled area between Doors 15 and 16. A self-serve Information desk is near Door 15 and a fun zone by Door 16.

The United States gates

Flights to the United States leave from the E gates, in the U.S. Departures hall, because you clear American customs here in Calgary before boarding.

Allow for clearing American customs in Calgary rather than on landing, and note that its checkpoint closes at 20:00.
