Chicago - Calgary - Vancouver

[onthelake]

I will be flying Westjet from Chicago O'Hare to Calgary and on to Vancouver. Will I pre-clear Canadian customs & immigration at O'Hare or will it be in Calgary or even Vancouver? I am trying to figure out my timing. Thank you.

You will clear Canadian Customs in Calgary; if you're flying Westjet the entire way they won't let you book a through ticket that doesn't allow you enough time to make it to your next flight.

The only thing I would add is there are flights pretty much every hour between Calgary and Vancouver with both Air Canada and WestJet. If you miss your connection in Calgary and go over to the transfer desk for the airline you were booked on they will move you to the next flight they have an opening on.

Thank you. It is Westjet booked with Westjet so it should be fine.

Westjet ROCKS!!!!

 

You will clear customs in Calgary. Depending on how many flights come in it might be busy but Calgary is still a smaller airport than Vancouver and Chicago so they shouldnt be too bad.

 

I would suspect the airline will make sure you have enough time for your connection including customs. If by chance you miss your flight, I am sure Westjet will help get you onto the next flight (as a pp said, flights run almost hourly between Calgary and Vancouver).
