I've traveled in a lot of countries and the Halifax Stanfield International Airport is one of the most efficient and has the best customer service by far. I easily gased up our rental (which was a free upgrade!) before dropping it off on site, picked up supper, and grabbed a shuttle to the Holiday Inn Express - all in 15 minutes time. Friendly staff were available and happy to help each step of the way. It wasn't busy or any long lines. The Alt is also an excellent hotel option right at the airport if you have an early morning flight. The one downside of the airport location is the distance to Halifax, but it's not too far compared to major cities. Best available option for those travelling away from the East Coast - get fresh Maritime lobster packed up in a cooler box for your flight!

Halifax airport is well planned out and looks newly renovated everywhere.
Everything seemed to go a lot faster than at other airports these days. From rental car return though check in (they've got true self service including self service back drop) and security.
Everyone including security are super friendly. Almost unheard of at most other airports I've experienced in recent years.
There are plenty of shops and places to eat both air side and outside security.
An all around pleasant experience.

Good airport with atrocious wifi. I'm currently getting 0.07 mb/s.
