Do any of my friends have a connecting flight from Vancouver to Calgary in the past two days? Is two hours really not enough for a connection? What should I do ?

The arrangement for the transfer is still reasonable. Talk to the flight attendant and ask to get off the plane first. Your boarding pass should be ready for both flights, so you can go directly to the boarding gate and make it on time.

It was quite tense for 2 hours. We arrived on the 17th, and it took 1 hour to go through immigration (mainly because of the long queues and only 5 open windows, and some immigration officers like to ask questions, so it's quite slow). Then we had to go through the security check for the connecting flight - they checked very thoroughly, and anything slightly miscellaneous in our carry-on bags had to be taken out and inspected one by one. My husband had to have his laptop checked separately, and was asked several questions, which took about 30 minutes. So, the 2 hours and 50 minutes I had allowed for the connecting flight, after we quickly had a meal, we barely had to wait and it was almost time to board. Just for your reference...

Currently the biggest problem I encountered and hope everyone knows, today from Jasper to play out 93 Glacier Avenue to reach near Lake Louise normally want to pass through the nearby highway exit through Field to reach Golden, but the highway has been closed causing to go from Lake Louise back to Banff. The middle of the highway goes to the hot springs of Radium, more than 100 kilometers, in the complete darkness of the mountains, it is very challenging, and it is not easy to follow the car. Even my 20-year-old driver feels quite difficult, and there is also a lot of pressure from the heavy truck behind. The cars in this area have all changed lanes. Last week, someone said it was blocked for five hours from Golden to Banff. Combined with my situation today, friends from Jasper or Banff back to Vancouver should be fully prepared ? Canada Q&A

Do you know any gods who can tell me if the car I rented in Montreal can be driven to the United States? I said it to the person at the car rental company, and he said it could, but the license plate is a Quebec license plate. I'm afraid I can't get past the United States. Can any gods who know my question tell me? By the way, is the Rainbow Bridge for the inspection of entry and exit between the United States and Canada at the Niagara Falls 24 hours a day ?

Dear experts, I have two questions to consult. I will go to Canada in July. 1. I will take Hong Kong Airlines from Shanghai to Vancouver, with a layover in Hong Kong (without leaving the airport). Do I still need to apply for a 'Hong Kong and Macau Pass'? 2. Is driving in downtown Vancouver very congested? Are there large parking lots for transferring to public transportation ? Canada Q&A

Can anyone please advise us on a Road trip from Calgary to Vancouver at the end of October? We will mainly visit Banff and Jasper, and the total trip duration will be 5 days. First, we would like to know if the scenery of the two national parks is similar and both are necessary to visit. Second, we are concerned about the driving safety in snowy weather based on the current weather forecast in the area. Although we have a long driving history, we have never driven on icy roads. We would appreciate any advice. Thank you ? Canada Q&A

In fact, it's almost the same as in China. If you are a good driver in China, you will have no problem in Canada! When you rent a car, the website will tell you about the traffic rules and insurance in Canada. The service is very good. There is no toll on Canadian highways. The drivers there drive very strictly. When our domestic traffic is also like this, it will be a real strong country. Gasoline is cheaper than in China, about 5.6 RMB per liter, and there are differences in different places. Remember to fill up the gas (87 octane) if you have the chance ? Canada Q&A
