Worst experience in my life.land at terminal A concourse 50 min
Connection flight departing from terminal E. After leaving secured area( by design) and redirected to the E concourse requiring TSA inspection again. Then stopped before entering concourse because my luggage had not past inspection. We walked over 9000 steps at airport.

My mother was flying to Frankfurt today with Aero Wing and the staff at the airport was incredibly slow. They just take their time, chit chat and laugh with each other and just stroll slowly. It was so frustrating. Calgary Airport is the worst functioning Airport I've ever been in.
