As someone who only found out our Supreme Court wears Santa robes a couple of weeks ago, I am OUTRAGED that they will no longer be doing that.

I will pay extra to find transfers through Calgary. Open, available lounge seating, play areas for kids, and a good assortment of food options. I have been forced to sleep in many airports; this one is the best.
Actually, you know what? Let’s stop complaining for a second. QT this with a GOOD airport. Defend that title as much or as little as you like. But let’s hear about airports that don’t suck.
