Before you book

  • Check in at the Banff Explorer ticket counter 15 minutes before departure: between Door 4 and Door 5 on the arrivals level of Ground Transportation, in the Domestic Terminal between the Air Canada and WestJet luggage carousels. The listing says the service runs daily with several departures; check the schedule for times.
  • It is one way, from the airport to drop-offs in Banff and Canmore, and the listing gives 1.5 to 2 hours depending on traffic and weather. Calgary airport to Banff is 144 km (Travel Alberta).
  • Each passenger may bring one standard suitcase and one carry-on; more may cost extra, and bikes, golf clubs, snowboards and skis carry an extra $25, as the listing writes it. Onboard Wi-Fi is included; tips are not. A national park pass is needed to stay in Banff National Park (CA$12.25 per adult per day in 2026), and the listing does not mention one.
