Parkade 2

Two-minute covered walk to YYC’s International terminal

Parkade 2 sits directly beside Calgary’s International terminal, with a marked indoor route that gets you from your car to check‑in in about 2 minutes. It’s a daily covered parkade, so you skip shuttles, surface lots, and snowdrifts. This is the structure frequent YYC international flyers talk about when they say they “always park right in the airport lot.”

The posted rate is $32 per day, with the first week coming to about $160 plus tax, matching the premium “parkade” pricing used for P1. After day seven, the meter keeps running at the same daily rate, so long trips push the bill far above off‑airport lots that cap weekly pricing. If you’re running numbers for a 10–14 day vacation, do the math before you pull a ticket.

P2 is physically tied into the International side of YYC, so it lines up best with International terminal check‑in desks and arrivals. You can still walk back to the Domestic side inside the building, but that adds several more minutes on top of the 2‑minute walk. For late‑night arrivals on overseas flights, that short, covered walk from baggage claim to your car is the whole pitch.

Regulars with red‑eyes out of Calgary or winter return flights often pick P2 specifically to cut their outside time to near zero, especially on January mornings that sit below ‑20°C. AMA and other loyalty members typically prebook online through YYC’s site to pull the drive‑up rate down, sometimes shaving several dollars per day off that $32 posted price during busy holiday or spring break periods.

Tip: If your trip runs a full week or more, price out one of the off‑airport lots against the $160‑plus first‑week total here, then decide if that 2‑minute indoor walk to the International terminal is worth the premium.
