I don't fly nearly as often as I'd like. That said I was a fan of YYC the few times I've been through it. I like that it was fairly simple, and I could easily walk around to look at planes etc.

That said my memories are fuzzy, and last time (which was 4 years ago?) I just connected through.

I will give a shout out to my hometown airports. Stanfield in Halifax is amazing for it's size. Three or four bars in it (I don't recall now) you can buy live Lobster to take on the plane with you, plus the observation deck, sweet Moses their observation desk is Amazing!

McCurdy in Sydney is a small airport that people around here like to rag on because it's not a huge international airport. However, it has a restaurant that is second to none, a nice viewing area to see the tarmac, they're renovating to add more gate space and expand the small secured area. My only real gripe is that there are no jetways, which isn't uncommon for a small regional airport. In fact jetways would destroy the picture Window views of the tarmac from luggage claim. Although with how the traffic is spiking there, they may not be too far off.

I've searched but couldn't find anything. Does anyone know if Toronto City Centre has jetways? Or, London City Centre? I'm curious how airports that handle similar sized aircraft that YQY does
