How one minute can cost you $530 at Calgary International Airport

This is not true. For an international flight from the U.S. to Canada, Air Canada requires that you are checked in with your name on their manifest 45 minutes before your departure time or you cannot go on the flight. This is so that their government has time to run your name through their computers for a security check. I do not feel sorry for the woman who showed up at 7:01 for an 8:00 international flight. It puts everyone on the aircraft at risk if a passenger is allowed to do that. It makes everyone scramble just to get this passenger on board, and when that kind of chaos takes place for an airline flight, security measures can be breeched.
