AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
YEG operates from a single terminal building, so all connections are made on foot along one concourse. Passengers connecting from an international arrival to a domestic or US-bound flight must clear Canadian customs and immigration before re-entering the secure area, which involves a walk down to the arrivals level and back through security.

Excessive for the airport's actual processing needs, but not uncommon given limited flight schedules to some destinations. See full 3 hr guide →
