Efficient and pleasant international arrival, cleared immigration, customs and got luggage inside of 20 minutes. Kudos!
Kristen Martino AndersonAugust 18, 2014Didn't love Vancouver but glad I've experienced it. Strathcona was fabulous though!!
NEXUS is your best friend here - US transborder customs in 5 minutes or less. Security in 3 minutes or less (you skip the entire line)
Matti NuuttilaFebruary 25, 2014Wau.. it took some good 3 hrs to get in country with luggage. First time in my life requested for a working permit while coming for business meetings trip.
Vivian LeeDecember 14, 2018This is the best airport in the world. Beautiful First Nation art throughout
One of my favourite airports. It's decently big but well laid out
Food selection needs work, but amazing wifi and always clean.
If you buy a Canada Line ticket at the airport, there is a $5 surcharge. For 2 people, possibly cheaper to take a cab.
Anne FreemanSeptember 21, 2015Cruised through customs, had time to shop and plane was on time. Unlike the flight here. Going home is awesoms.
SirWhiskers HartwickDecember 16, 2016There's no restaurant in intl departure area. Unless you're keen on A&W, eat before you go in. Also no booze. There is approximately 1 million sqft of crappy perfume and maple syrup though
Josh FerraraSeptember 6, 2013Easily the best international customs interaction I've ever experienced! So effortless.
Nishant SharmaSeptember 29, 2019One of the slowest immigration checks ever. Usually only two of the many counters are active so expect to wait longer than you have to at most busy airports
Nice, clean, big airport. Lots of nice hidden places no one knows off 😉
Sebastian KomorMay 26, 2013Great for arriving, not so much leaving. A tad confusing. Hard time finding tgecproper Air Canada check in. I was told there is no reason for the 100 dollar fee for 2nd piece of luggage. $grab!
When your flight is ready for boarding.... Relax! Wait until the line is gone otherwise you'll be waiting like a lemon.
The PinheadsAugust 16, 2011There is some decent food at the food court. If you are hungry and in a rush, that's a great choice, also free wifi!
hussein sDecember 7, 2014Flights to Asia, Europe, USA, Mexico, & other airports within Canada. Rapid transit skytrain & N10 night bus connect the airport's international & domestic terminals to Richmond & downtown Vancouver
Good place to people watch and listen to the languages. The airlines coming here are pretty uncommon too.
amazingly decent pho in the international terminal before security.
Jo LinAugust 24, 2014free WiFi, clean and efficient airport. Food option is better outside of the airport though
Enjoy one of the most beautiful airports in the world. Always happy to come back home!
Our Westjet flight is delayed by an hour, but the staff here at the gate have been playing games with the crowd to keep us entertained. Awesome service (and they are even giving away prizes)
Julia LuJanuary 5, 2019International terminal has comfy chairs to sleep in if your flight gets delayed.
Charging stations near the gates are really handy. Make sure you've got the right plug adaptor though (still in Canada!)
Michael BurgessSeptember 8, 2011Best food @yvr is the Japanese restaurant just before security for international departures (on the left)- Bijan YoungAugust 15, 2017Well organised on way out. Daft approach in passport control by machine. Decent selection of shops.
Hertz car rental is located right in the airport parking lot, so no need to take a rental shuttle if you rent from Hertz- Best airport in the world in terms of clear signage, efficiency, decor, and flight options.
Starskreem TAugust 31, 2016A really clean and well kept airport. Ignore the lounges and look for the calm seating area by the pond. The free wifi is decent too. Restaurants past check in are unfounded a refurb at the moment.
Mat BrownAugust 18, 2016Check out the SkyTrain for a ride to the city that is both slower and more expensive than a cab.
Betty McPhersonApril 5, 2014If heading downtown take the sky train...super easy, quick and cheaper than a taxi!
Moe DexlerDecember 15, 2016Everything moves slowly here. If I didn't know better, I would have thought I was in Miami, FL.- Tim WrayMay 5, 2012YVR - Gateway to Vancouver Real Estate! Call "Tim Wray" on (604) 781-5692 or go to "
Germaine MartinezOctober 11, 2014Getting thru customs is really fast with the help of the automated systems they have.
- They're voted best in North America for 6 straight years in a row. They always have clean bathrooms
Pleased to see YVR stopped dedicating 100 wheelchairs & staff to assist incoming foreigners from the plane to immigration. Because that kinda seemed parasitic. Oops! Did I just say that?? Thanks YVR.
KevinJune 30, 2013Buy a book of Translink tickets or a day pass from the 7/11 (one floor below domestic arrivals) to avoid paying an extra $5 for a one way ticket to downtown at the sky train platform.
Free wifi has always been the norm at airports. However YVR had it early. If your airport durst have free wifi. Speak up.

"Get a single zone ticket book from 7-11 at lower lvl of domestic arrival. You can upgrade without paying the 5$ airport fee. After 6pm you get back to YVR without upgrading."

"A very convenience airport with skytrain connection to the city. But watch out for the non-peak hour skytrain schedule."
