    did you know that you can relax in wine country only minutes away? Check out Quails' Gate Winery - best lake and vineyard view from the tasting room, and the welcoming Old Vines Restaurant with patio

    If you are getting to the airport after 8pm on a Saturday, there is only one place to get a bite! At Tim's.

    If your vehicle's been sitting in the long term lot getting dusty, be sure to stop in at Bubbles on Springfield for a great hand wash and friendly service!

    When going through security - if you get the pat down, be sure to smile and say "that was good for me was it good for you?" When they are finished.

    Security insists every carryon article must be in own tray, due to Xray machine breakdown unless hor doerves are individually plated. #OhYouFancy

    If you forget to check your weapons the friendly people at WestJet will call your suitcase back up so you can pack them properly.

    Americans are now segregated from all other passengers. If you want preflight refreshments, bring cash because the "Café" is always unmanned.

    Just so you know, passengers on US bound flights are no longer segregated from domestic passengers (as of Sept 2011). US bound passengers can enjoy all amenities of the airport such as whitespot, etc

    This is the only airport that will take you back to arrivals if you accidentally walk passed your gate while boarding. Should be separate floors for arrivals and departures like normal airports have.

    The large baggage check - READ Ski's - is at the opposite end of the airport as the security and departure check in! Baggage flow failure.

    You can buy wine after you clear security, brilliant! Also, it doesn't count as a piece of baggage.

    Avoid Skyway Restaurant in the departure lounge. Its menu is overpriced.
