YVR has the nicest airport IMO despite the apparent shortcomings in the domestic side of the terminal...one nice feature that was not listed on the first post is the elaborate historical displays located in the upper gangway of the international terminal. The displays form part of the walkway as you enter the airport off the planes and head to customs and passport control. The only problem is that I am not sure that a lot of people are willing to stop and spend huge amounts of time reading about BC's history after getting off a long international flight. After coming back from San Francisco two weeks ago, my only thought was of getting through customs as fast as possible and heading home...
YXX - Abbotsford - anyone have any details of their expansion plans? I hav eseen pictures of a new treminal on the walls of the airport but I do not have any details. I use that airport at least once a month and it has to be the nicest for short turnaround times...love being able to get to the airport 30 minutes before the flight knowing you will not have any hassles checking in or at the gate.
YWG - nice pictures of the new JAR terminal but I am not sure about those bubble sky lights...looks very retro 60's to me...
YEG - Edmonton - missing details of a new airport hotel going up which is independent of the 1.1 billion airport expansion
