Travel
Almost every major airline flies directly into the Calgary International Airport. Rent a car or catch a shuttle bus connection right from the airport to Banff.
Renting a car is one of the best ways to explore Banff and provides a lot of advantages over public transport. A car allows you to avoid crowds, make up your own schedule, and explore all of the various parts of Banff. All major car rental agencies are represented at the Calgary International Airport. Reservations are required. Insurance is required. International driver’s license is NOT required.
Rental Car
There are a number of companies that offer private shuttle bus transfers from the Calgary International Airport. They operate on a schedule and run multiple transfers a day. Airport shuttles may be available via Banff Airporter, Banff Sedan and Pursuit. Advance reservations are recommended.
airport shuttle
The closest airport to Fairmont Banff Springs is Calgary International Airport (YYC),
which is located approximately 80 miles (1.5-2 hours) East of the resort. During the weekends the TransCanada can become very congested with a large portion of the city entering the mountains. This means on a Friday afternoon it may take longer to get to Banff and on Sunday afternoon it will take longer to get back to Calgary. Keep this in mind if you have flights during these times.
