In case anyone else plans to leave Banff after an all day tour on
Tuesday evening to spend the night in Calgary at the Holiday Inn, the
Banff Airporter shuttles
from Banff to Calgary do NOT stop anywhere short of the airport.
However, an alternative is the regular Greyhound bus :
http://www.greyhound.ca/en/travel_information/bus.shtml The adult fare
one-way, Banff to Calgary, is $47.00.
You would need to take a taxi from the Banff Springs Hotel to the bus
depot (at the other end of Banff from the hotel), that's a very short
taxi ride; take the Greyhound to the bus depot in Calgary, and take
another taxi from there to the Holiday Inn, about $10.00; the airport
shuttle from the Holiday Inn to the airport the next morning is about
$16 per person; a taxi from the Holiday Inn to the airport is about
$25-$30.
Another option might be to book a night at the Delta Calgary Airport
Hotel (that's the only hotel that's actually at the airport)
http://reservations.hotel--canada.com/hotel/10005227-10228938R.html
although its prices are rather more than the Holiday Inn. If you do
that, you can use the regular Banff airport shuttle.
