You should arrive in E and after passport control will exit into an area just before D. No further security screening. It’s one of the few things that works really well at YYC in my opinion. Be sure to have your inbound and outbound boarding passes handy as you have to show both when you exit after passport control.
Thanks for the advice. I will self cater. I am vegan but will do vegetarian if necessary when traveling.
What about lounges at YYC? I have Priority Pass and can access the following:
Concourse B - Elevation Lounge
Airside - Level 2 of the Domestic Terminal. The lounge is also accessible for passengers departing from Concourse D in the International Terminal; these passengers must first check baggage at the International Terminal and then clear Security at Check Point B or C. Following their lounge visit, they may proceed to the D gates through the connection point near Gates C70-74. The lounge is not accessible to passengers departing to the U.S.
Concourse D - Aspire Lounge International Departures
Airside - after Security Checks follow signs for 'Lounge'. At Chili's proceed through the lounge lobby and take the lift to the lounge floor. International flights from Concourse D only.
Concourse E - Aspire Lounge Transborder Departures
Airside - after Security Checks follow signs for 'Lounge'. Proceed through Duty Free and the lounge is on the left hand side. Only accessible to passengers departing from Concourse E for US transborder departures.
I'll have a 3-hr layover at YYC and so can lounge hop to kill some time. Should I bother checking out the transborder lounge in E prior to exiting into D, and will I even gain entry since I'll be connecting from transborder to international?
What about the Elevation lounge in B? If that requires a security check out of D and then back into D, I won't border. I assume all 3 lounges are similar in their F&B offerings (with limited vegetarian, let alone vegan, food items) and ambiance?
