Lots of directions to get to the airport.
Do you have their flight info?
If so, then go to
http://www.yyc.com
From there, check the arrival time. See if the board lists the flight
as early or late.
Then, on the left, click "Flight Tracking". Follow the instructions.
If you live 20 minutes away, as I do, watch the flight in the tracker.
When it begins to go down (most start at 30,000 feet or higher),
say down to 25,000 ft, leave immediately!
By the time I drive to the airport, park in the short term (free), and
get inside, I usually wait about 5 minutes and out they come. On
occaision I might be late, but never more than a few minutes.
On the way out, no payment.
Also, while the signs say 30 minutes, they must ask for money depending
on how busy the airport is. Once I was there over one hour waiting
for a friend to clear customs, but the place was packed. On the way out,
no charge.
