Waiting in Calgary Airport

 Our flight out of Cranbrook yesterday evening was on time and uneventful. 40 minutes gate to gate. We stayed at the Park Inn by Radisson located on the north edge of the airport.  It is the economy Radisson hotel and worked well for us.   Most airport hotels have a shuttle service but this hotel uses cabs in lieu of a shuttle. They provide you with the name of the cab company and pay the fair. We gave the driver the usual tip. It was very convenient. Sometimes you have to wait quite a while for a shuttle pickup.

Due to the rapidly spreading Omicron variant, the airport is not very busy.  The last time we traveled was at the beginning of the covid infections and the airports were very busy. There were long lines for check-in and security. It was impossible to avoid close contact with other travelers. Now it is quite the opposite.  It is nice not to be rushed through security. There are plenty of empty seats in the waiting area so it is easy to avoid close contact.  Much more relaxing. experience!
