YYC has a single main terminal with multiple concourses. Domestic to international connections require a 12-minute walk plus security recheck; plan at least 45 minutes. International to international connections need 90 minutes minimum due to security recheck and immigration. No train or bus connections available between terminals.

["Security recheck required for most connections, adding 20-30 minutes to tight layovers","Long walking distances between concourses (10-12 minutes) without moving walkways or shuttle assistance","International connections require both security recheck and immigration processing, making 60-minute layovers very risky"]

The Aspire WestJet Garden Lounge in Concourse E (US Departures, after security) is your best option with shower facilities and a 4-star rating. Access requires boarding pass or WestJet frequent flyer status; eligibility varies by airline and cabin class. Unfortunately, YYC lacks dedicated sleep pods or spa facilities in airport lounges for serious jetlag recovery.
