Buses depart every 30 minutes during peak hours and cost just $5 each way. Alternatively, the excellent SkyShuttle links the airport with literally dozens of destinations across the city for only $18, making this an excellent value for money option. That said, passengers who arrive on business class flights to Edmonton may wish to get to their destination as fast as possible, for which a taxi is the best option, with fares to the downtown area starting at $55. Alternatively, most major car hire companies such as Avis, Hertz, National and Enterprise have a presence at Edmonton International Airport.

Business Class Flights To Edmonton, Practical Information
British Citizens booking business class flights to Edmonton do not require a visa to enter the country, although an Electronic Travel Authorisation, or ETA, must be applied for well ahead of departure. Costing just $7, once obtained, the ETA is valid for either five years, or until your passport expires, whichever is sooner. ETAs can be applied for online with just your Passport and an international debit or credit card, and most applications are approved within minutes. Upon arrival in Canada and production of a valid ETA, most British visitors will have a six-month visitor’s permit stamped into their passport.
Described as ‘northern continental’, Edmonton’s climate has four distinct seasons ranging from a mildly warm summer between June and August, and a bitterly cold winter stretching from November to March. Temperatures in summer rarely rise beyond 25 degrees Celsius, meaning no special preparation is required. Winter temperatures, however, regularly plummet as low as -16 °C for prolonged periods and visitors from the UK are advised to pack and prepare accordingly. As a bare minimum, visitors during the winter months should pack long sleeve trousers and tops, with a thick jumper and windproof coat. Woollen socks, heavy boots and earmuffs are also highly advisable if you anticipate spending extended periods outdoors.
