Guest Kirsteen Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Hi there, Just a quick query: how long would it take to 1) drive, and 2) fly to Edmonton from Calgary? Cheers, Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest summervirus Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 From city centre to city centre, it takes around 3 hours to drive. I can't remember the exact time for the flight but it's less than half an hour. My friend had a ticket that he needed to use up earlier this year and chose to fly home (Calgary) this year and it ended up taking him a few hours because of the need to get to the airport early, the commute to the airport, etc. He didn't end up saving that much time.

Guest Kirsteen Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 summervirus: thanks for your speedy response. It seems like the drive is super-quick. That's great. Cheers, Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest summervirus Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 The 3 hour drive is a fairly conservative number too. *cough cough* I managed to get from one city centre to the other in less than 2 and a half hours before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chemgirl Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Indeed, I agree with summervirus! If your interpretation of the speed limit is somewhat, ahem, "liberal," you can make it there in 2.5 hours for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kirsteen Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Hi there, Driving from Calgary to Lake Louise last weekend, I was pleasantly surprised by the 110km/hr speed limit. Cheers, Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Med2B Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 110 km/h is the speedlimit on Hwy 2 (between Edmonton and Calgary). But most people go between 120-130 km/h. Its a fairly mindless drive, straight roads all the way. 2.5hrs from city centre to city centre is definately doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest makdaddy08 Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Lotsa cops along Highway 2 though. Just be careful on the slopes and overpasses...they get you at the tops of hills where u can't see'em 'til it's too late. I usually drive 150 km/h on the flats and whenever there's a hill/dip I go to 120 km/h. I make the trip in a bit over 2 hours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
