Departure: Edmonton International Airport (YEG)

Flights from Edmonton to Calgary leave from Edmonton International Airport (YEG), serving Edmonton - edmonton is the capital of Alberta and the main air and rail gateway for Jasper, about four hours away by road.

Arrival: Calgary International Airport (YYC) and getting into Calgary

You arrive at Calgary International Airport (YYC). Calgary has a light-rail system called the CTrain that runs free through downtown, and an express bus links the airport with the centre; there is no passenger rail to Banff. A private car is the simplest choice with luggage or ski gear, for late flights, and above all for the drive to Canmore, Banff and Lake Louise. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your accommodation in Calgary, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Onward flights or trains from Calgary the same day can be added to the booking; let us know and we choose a Edmonton to Calgary departure that leaves a safe connection.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Edmonton to Calgary flight

Before you compare the Edmonton to Calgary flight prices, compare what they carry. A fare with hand luggage only can look cheapest and end up dearer once a bag is added. Haqqi Tours can provide the fare that matches your bags: cabin bag only for a short trip, checked bag for a holiday, extra allowance for a long stay. Seat selection, meals and priority boarding are optional extras on many airlines; we tell you which are worth it.

• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones

Flying with children, families and groups from Edmonton to Calgary

Families fly the Edmonton to Calgary route with us week in, week out. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the airline offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the carrier for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Things to do in Calgary when you land

Calgary is the Alberta city at the foot of the Rockies, the gateway to Banff and Lake Louise and home of the Calgary Stampede. The reasons passengers fly from Edmonton to Calgary include Stampede Park, Heritage Park, the Calgary Zoo, the Bow River pathways and the Calgary Tower. For the first meal, try pancake breakfasts at Stampede time, maple fudge and butter tarts and Alberta beef steaks.

Haqqi Tours provides guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Calgary; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.

Best time to fly from Edmonton to Calgary

Flights from Edmonton to Calgary run all year, many a day. Summer from June to September is warm and sunny and is peak season in the Rockies, with the Stampede in July; winter from November to March is cold and snowy, ideal for skiing, with mild chinook winds that can raise temperatures suddenly. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

Return flight from Calgary to Edmonton

We book the return leg from Calgary to Edmonton just as easily, typically on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much is a flight from Edmonton to Calgary?

Flight prices from Edmonton to Calgary follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The airline you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you in the WhatsApp chat before you decide.

The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Edmonton to Calgary flight is often not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Edmonton to Calgary: how to pay less

The cheapest flight from Edmonton to Calgary is usually booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our booking desk applies on every booking:

• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are normally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently carry the lowest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Edmonton to Calgary that day and what a slightly different day would cost.
