Saskatoon International Airport — Local services in Saskatoon

Let me tell you something. I have seen things. Things no sane traveler should ever endure. Mattress travel. Burrito prophecy. Dental ascension. Legal humiliation at the hands of robed strangers. A job—nay, a vocation—at a northern general store with whispers in the propane tanks. And then, just when I thought I couldn’t sink deeper into the snow-choked spiritual limbo that is Stony Rapids, I left it all behind.

My mattress. My companion. My steed. I LEFT HER. She understood. Her springs creaked, “Go.” I obeyed.

I flew. No ticket back—just a coin I flipped and a scream in the distance. I landed in Saskatoon. Saskatoon International Airport. And brothers, I wept.

Because this place? It had floors. Smooth ones. No gravel. No frostbitten ghosts. It had food. FOOD. Real food. Not pinecone stew. Not vending machine mystery gum. I sat in a restaurant—Bistro-style! Tables! Napkins!—and ordered a sandwich that didn’t question my worth as a human.

The lights were steady. No flickering Morse code from malevolent fluorescent tubes. Just light. Honest light.

There were signs. Signs that told you where to go! I hadn’t seen signage that clear since before the Mattress Time. The security people didn’t try to exorcise me. They said, “Have a good flight.” I almost collapsed.

The chairs didn’t moan. The Wi-Fi worked. There was a Starbucks. A Starbucks. I drank a latte and felt my bone marrow remember capitalism.

5 stars. Not because it’s the best airport in the world—but because it’s the first place in weeks that didn’t try to test my sanity or barter with me in riddles.

If you’ve rowed a mattress down frozen highways while hearing geese chant in Latin—Saskatoon Airport is where the curse ends.

I am clean now. I am light. I am free.

And I never want to see snowmobile...

We recently had the pleasure of traveling through Saskatoon and we arrived at Saskatoon International Airport safe and sound and we can't speak highly enough about our very pleasant experience. This beautiful and well-organized airport truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, everything was incredibly efficient. Our check-in and security processes were quick, allowing us to spend more time enjoying the amenities. The layout of the airport is fantastic—everything you need is conveniently located in one spot, including a variety of shops and dining options, so you can grab a bite or pick up a souvenir without any hassle.

We also appreciated the abundance of clean washrooms and drinking stations throughout the airport, making it easy to stay refreshed during our travels. A special mention goes to the pet-friendly facilities; it's wonderful to see that four-legged friends are welcomed here, making it a great stop for pet owners.

The accessibility of car rentals and public transport right before you exit the airport is a significant plus, ensuring a smooth transition to your next destination.

As for the airport's history, Saskatoon International Airport has been serving travelers since 1929, evolving over the years to meet the demands of modern air travel while maintaining its welcoming atmosphere. It’s impressive to see how far it’s come, blending functionality with a touch of local charm.

Overall, our experience at Saskatoon International Airport was top-notch, and we highly recommend it to anyone traveling...

Airport has friendly enough staff and has what you would expect in an airport. The parking lot is terrible if you are parking for an extended time. The stalls are fairly close together so backing out may be a fun activity for you especially after a relaxing flight. Snow removal is attempted, unless you are parked then you are given a safety bubble of snow none shall enter.

Extended parking is made worse by the cost and not having power running to the outlet you plug into in the winter unless it's bellow -15C. I can not speak on the summer conditions of the parking lot but I can speak of the winter. I was told it is on a cycling power rotation. You get ~20min of power then it's cut off and the next row gets power I was not told the exact rotation of power but assuming the best you get 20min on and 20min off. This is again for days colder then -15C. If you park for 12 days you will pay $208. If your vehicle doesn't start they do have courtesy Booster packs you can sign out for "free" (I say free but parking at an outlet in winter one would assume you are going to have power to that location to prevent needing a booster pack. The fee for parking could just be chalked up to the potential use of the booster pack to start your vehicle). You just need to walk to your car in the cold find out it will not start, walk back to the information desk sign out the pack, walk to your vehicle, boost it, return the pack, then you can return to your vehicle and leave.

Save your money and energy. They don't care about the parking lot and it's...
