Vancouver International Airport: Alternative to flying in/out of Vancouver
  • Tip Rating:
  • Seattle to Vancouver route - Vancouver

    If you're visiting Vancouver then, of course, it's most convenient to fly in & out of YVR, Vancouver's own airport.

    However, the prices for flying in & out of SeaTac, in nearby Seattle, are often MUCH better.

    Which brings up the question: "How do I get from Seattle to Vancouver?" There are two convenient ways:
    1. Quick Shuttle
    2. Amtrak Cascades - Rail & bus service

    The former leaves directly from the Seattle airport. But if their schedule is not convenient for you then take a taxi downtown to the Amtrak Station (303 South Jackson St.) and you'll be able to catch something there. Both provide service right into downtown Vancouver.

    Vancouver International Airport: YVR
  • Tip Rating:
  • Vancouver International Airport has for the meantime completed expansion to meet the demands of our treasured visitors. Our main airline is Air Canada, which is a member to the Star Alliance. Because improvements on the airport have come to a halt, you no longer need to pay the Airport Improvement Fee (up to $15) - hurrah! I think my contributions were upwards of $200. I wonder if that money went to purchasing more Native artwork to place in lobbies ...

    Vancouver International Airport is Canada's Second Biggest Airport, located on a island between Richmond & Vancouver.

    There are two terminals, one for domestic flights & one for international. The main operating airline in Canada is Air Canada.

    If you plan on making bigger trips leavin from Vancouver to other parts of British Columbia or Canada then it would be good to check out what Vancouver International Airport has to offer. There is a domestic departure level where you can take off for smaller trips within BC or Canada. Of course this is an international airport so you can travel about anywhere in the world from here.

    Check out their website for flight schedules and much more.

    Vancouver International Airport: This is the international...
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is the international arrivals and departures level of the Vancouver airport has been recently renovated with this first nations artwork as the centrepiece. There has been a $10 per ticket 'airport improvement fee' to cover these renovations. Guess what? They have decided to continue collecting this fee in order to 'improve' the domestic section, too.
    A taxi will cost you about $25 to downtown but there is a shuttle bus that charges $10 and has several stopping points along Granville St.

    Vancouver Internation Airport (YVR) is a state-of-the-art facility (it should be, we pay enough taxes and fees for it), and it handles thousands of flights per day. A flight should be easy to find. Like most places, options are limited only by your budget, time, and patience. Because of the size of Canada, a bus from anywhere will take forever. Trains and cars are other options, as are cruise liners. Again, you are only limited by that stated above.
    Skytrain is good to see the suburbs and such. Seabus will take you across Burrard Inlet to North Vancouver, but its on strike right now....cars are an option, but parking can be hard to find and expensive in the downtown core. Only a good idea if you plan an excursion to the limits of the Greater Vancouver area, or beyond...taxis are good, just don't let them take you for a ride. But they most likely won't do that. We are Canadians, after all....bike are great to get around, especially good if the weather co-operates. Really good for the legs, too. There are loads of places to rent bikes, especially on Denman Street downtown. For more info on transport, visit http://www.translink.bc.ca/

  • Tip Rating:
  • One of the best ways to see Vancouver is to take a trip on our 'Skytrain'-'Seabus' light rapid transit system. It will take you from one end of the city to the other in an elevated 'Skytrain'. At the end of the line you take a 'Seabus' across the inlet to shop at Lonsdale Quay. It's great!!

    Vancouver International Airport: Airport
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Vancouver International airport is not very far away. There is a bus that takes you to the city (and probably beyond, I am not sure anymore). There are also shuttles to downtown Vancouver. Of course, cabs and car rental companies are always there at your service.

    Vancouver International Airport: Getting to the city from the airport.
    A cheap and efficient way to get from the international airport to the city centre and downtown area is to take the airport shuttle bus, which costs C$13. The counter to buy a ticket is on your left as you come through the arrivals section into the terminal. Buses leave on the half-hour. Buses stop at major city hotels and from there you can walk to your accommodation if it is in the area.
