Continuing the Airport Lounge series of reviews - maybe I should start a Yelp collection on it - we…read morefind ourselves at the Chinook Lounge in YYC. This place goes by a few names it seems. My apps and sites have it as SwissAir Chinook Lounge but it's listed here as Servisair's Lounge. Whatever it is, the word Chinook should basically tell you that it is at YYC. The Chinook is located in the Domestic flight area of Concourse A. If you find yourself lost, just jump on the YYC Link shuttle service and get off at the end/beginning of the track. Walk through to the food court area at A and to your left is a set of stairs up or the elevator to the Chinook Lounge. I was looking forward to the place but it was a bit of a let down. It was warm with the mid-afternoon sun was setting and it was pretty warm inside. The fireplace was also going pretty well. It's ok though, take off the winter layers and stay awhile! Still a bit stuffy though. The food and drinks are located together. I didn't really participate too much in the food and drinks. The food was pretty off putting. Inside the fridge were large containers of pre-made sandwiches. You open the lid, get a pair of unsanitary tongs and lift out the little slivers of bread and fillings. There is a fridge that held cheese and cold cuts if you wanted to put something together. Some spirits were offered. I didn't bother. Open another fridge and there is some salad stuff and a vat of potato salad from a tub. Suffice it to say that I'm going to skip the food. Let's look for a nice pint of beer. There was a single tap and I just didn't want to bother. Sat down at a table, had some veggies and tried to do some pre-work before getting on the flight to YVR. I think the WiFi was non-existent. I had to use the Free-YYC one. I've been to the Maple Leaf Lounge at most of the Canadian airports. In YYC, MLL is far superior to this offering. I was here because I flew WJ and not AC. Also because my status with AMEX and Priority Pass allows me into the place without charge. If I had to pay to be here, it would have been a waste. 2.5 Stars. Probably will fly out of this place on AC when possible. If not, I guess I'll be back here again...hohum... Cheers/Jeers - you pick.

It's a nice place to enjoy a coffee or mixed drink, but otherwise not worth paying. Update: March 2019 Since Westjet took over management of this lounge the food and drink is much better. It's now a great spot to relax before a flight. Increased rating from 2 to 4 stars.

After learning that there is no Maple Leaf Lounge past customs at the Calgary Airport I decided to…read moregive the Rocky Mountain Lounge a try. I had a lot of time to kill so I figured by the time I buy dinner, and a drink at one of the airport restaurants the price would be similar. Plus I would have the added benefit of a quiet atmosphere. I was right on the quiet part. There were only a few people in the lounge so there was plenty of comfy sitting room. However, I was wrong on the food part. They had a very limited selection of foods of sustenance. They had potato bacon soup, which was ok, and some wraps and sandwiches. The sandwiches looked and tasted similar to a pulled pork - but I am not exactly sure. They also had some fresh fruits and veggies - which did not appear fresh at all. The only dip they had to accompany the veggies was packaged Kraft ranch dressing. Overall, the food was disappointing. On the positive side they did have a large assortment of snack items including chips, pretzels, nuts, and cookies. As well as an assortment of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Overall the $36 cost is probably worth it if you value quiet, and will be there long enough to take advantage of the drinks and snacks. But if you are looking for a quality meal, this is not the place. If you are an American Express card holder (as well as some other cards/clubs) entry is complimentary.

There are occasionally some rowdies who have paid their way in before a Vegas flight who have no manners or respect for any of the people around them and the lounge attendants don't do anything about it while everyone around are giving them the stink eye which they don't notice because they are oblivious to anybody else except themselves. But I digress. This is a great place to grab a glass of wine and get some work done or even sit back in a comfortable leather chair with a newspaper and just relax. There is always a golf game or some sort of sporting event playing quietly in the background on the tv's through-out and it is nice 'white noise'. You can't get a meal here but they do offer cold sandwiches, fruit, vegetables, cheese and assorted crunchy snacks along with various beverages. I will take it any day!

Amtrak Vacations arranged my transportation from Banff to Calgary, where I would be staying at the Delta Hotel that's on site at the airport. My arrival on the day before my return flight allowed me to explore the airport. The place is clean, signs are clear and helpful, the restrooms were well maintained, and security was efficient - not more than 10 minutes to clear for a flight that would leave around 8 a.m. There's an airport lounge (Aspire) that recognized my Priority Pass, and there were multiple options for meals apart from the lounge.

YYC airport is the closest airport if you're planning to go to Banff or Canmore. It's roughly an…read morehour away from Banff so plan accordingly when you arrive/depart. I'm from the US so I believe my gate was either 15 or 16 for arrivals. If you're renting a car at this airport and you're a US traveler, please note that you'll have a long walk to get to the car rental section which is near gate 7. I want to say I walked for at least 12-15 minutes to get from the arrival gate to gate 7. Departing was pretty quick and easy too. I traveled through American Airlines and found the kiosks to be far more streamlined when checking in versus going up to the counter. From there I went straight through the security and customs line. I was impressed with how smooth that went. Everything was 100% automated and checking in my bags through security while going through the scanners was a breeze. The staff on hand were friendly and moved passengers along with efficiency. As for departure dining, the food options at YYC are mediocre. It was lunch time and I ended up getting a nacho bowl at Mi Casa. It was decent, pricing was ok however it tasted commercial more than anything. I just wasn't wowed. The free Wi-Fi in this airport has good signal with several charging ports at the gates. If I ever find myself coming back to visit Calgary, I wouldn't hesitate to fly through YYC.

There's usually a great deal of variation between one visit and the next... even within one visit... That being said, when it's good its EXCELLENT and when it's bad its like "where am I and what is this place?". Let's call it the YYC lounge lottery for now.. Huge bonus points for the sophisticated and complete gluten free menu. I've been glutarded from a very young age and have often found myself sidelined to a salad bar while everyone else feasts on whatever delicious things they want.. This restaurant is a progressive one (in the dietary sense). Service is good. Sometimes. Other times its just awful. Again with the lottery. Luck is a fickle mistress. Now my pet peeve that is consistent across all my visits here (dozens and dozens of visits): This hotel has a large business traveler component. That includes me, and my associates. Every time I check into the Delta (with its itty bitty rooms), the last thing one wants to do is sit in your cramped room all night with your laptop and various electronic devices that are corporate necessities. Far more preferable would be to go down to the YYC lounge and have a few drinks and eat, and work on some tasks on your laptop/ipad/tablet/cell phone.. BUT, the management here seems to have completely overlooked the fact that these devices need electricity.. There isn't a single electric outlet to be found., So after a long flight, with your devices all discharged, you either have to sit right at the bar (often fully occupied), or sit and wait for a full charge in your room before you can come down and relax. This is HIGHLY inconvenient.. When I asked them why they mumbled something about "safety". Puleezee, wake up and smell the 2014.. Starbucks and coffee shops and Denny's and all sorts of restaurants world wide that are with the times often have many outlets available to customers.. So if you're going to lie, at least lie convincingly. I know it may seem like a simple thing, but when you're exhausted and just want to chillax in a lounge, the last thing you want to be worrying about constantly is how you're going to keep your devices charged (for whatever reason you're using them).. To sum it up, nothing I've mentioned here is a deal breaker. I will continue flying through YYC and stay at the Delta and drink at the YYC lounge at night.. I just want to say it like it is and point out that just like the aging and decaying YYC airport, this lounge could stand to get with the times as well. PS: Try the chicken wings, they rock

The pizza can be very crumbly on your lap. The fries had nice gravy. I love reaching the soggy fry bottom toward the end of the meal. Our server was nice but once the food was out she wasn't around so we couldn't request additional sauces or more frequent water refills. Although when the water refilled it had a tap taste so probably best to get water from the 7 Eleven. The high tables have room for a lot of dishes but you'll need to push your luggage toward the edges of this place for room. The ambiance was nice. Not too crowded and liked the Christmas music vibes. They also have arrivals times so you can keep track from where you're seated.
