Great, convenient and efficient smaller airport. On-site hotel with a pool and direct access to the terminal. Newly added Verified Traveler security for Nexus holders to pass domestic security very quickly and US Customs pre-clearance for travelers going to the USA.

Flew to the Newark via Air Canada, it is awesome that we have pre clearance in Halifax as there is hardly any lines to worry about, nothing like Toronto, no lines for check in or to go thru security. There is also a duty free and a snack bar once past security, again not very busy.

It's a very well-planned airport. As Halifax is relatively a dmall town, the airport does great service to the city. It is big for the city and the experience of coming through it was smooth.
