This is a pretty simple airport to navigate; only one terminal so it is fairly straightforward. We ran into a bit of a line at security though since there is only one checkpoint, but that is why you ensure you arrive with plenty of time before the flight. They have your standard options for pre-flight snacks as well as some souvenir options. The gates and waiting areas were clean and spacious.

Gayle and I flew into YYT from Montreal on the front end of our Newfoundland adventure and departed 5 days later via a non stop to Toronto. Both flights were on Air Canada. The St. John's Airport is on the smaller side for a Capital airport and reminded me of Reno or Baton Rouge in terms of size and easy walkability. On the Arrival side, baggage claim (and doing the rental car paperwork while I waited was straightforward and timely. However, the actual walk to the rental car lot was quite a schlep, and it's probably worse in the winter. On the Departure side, Security had the right combination of firm, efficient, and helpful. The latter was key as Gayle inadvertently carried a number of greater than 100 ml lotions and liquids through Security. She was nicely and patiently offered the chance to go back and have them checked, which she did. And Air Canada was nice enough the check that 2nd bag for free. Past Security, there's really only one restaurant/bar (YellowBelly) plus a newsstand, a few local crafts shops, and an interesting vending machine that dispensed frozen local seafood choices. The gates are all in one row, so getting my steps by going up and down worked out well. My most interesting purchase was for an issue of a local magazine called Downhome. Our Air Canada gate turned into a bit of a scrum due to all the people in a relatively small space. And when they offered earlier seating if I checked my carry on bag, I took it. I almost forgot to mention that YYT is well located within St. John's and it's super easy to drive out one day and back in the other. There's also a petrol station at the entrance for filling up your rental car. I hope to experience YYT again, either for another take on Newfoundland or maybe one of the smaller planes that go to Labrador and other points North.

Closes before 8. Do not arrive early for your flight.

Given that AirCanada asks passengers to be here / hours for a domestic flight and 3 hours before an international flight, why is everything closed before security and next to everything closed past security? There are like 8 flights on the board from 1pm to 3pm, but the only good past security doesn't open until 30 minutes before boarding the first round of flights - and they have a sign out front telling folks to allow at least 30 minutes for food.And which idiotic planner had the brilliant idea of sticking the washrooms at the very far ends of the terminal with nothing in the middle.
