Compared to every other airport i've ever been to... I still think ours is the best :P Read more
Kevin James BennettJuly 25, 2011Voyages Bar makes a killer Bloody Mary. The free wi-FI is a nice bonus too.
Good tip, NEXUS pass can safe you loads of time at security but it closes at 4:30pm.
IanOctober 7, 2010Power plugs are at the bottom of the support columns at the gate seating areas. They even have little laptop symbols indicating it is okay to use.
Ladies try to get your bags and exit the luggage line up before taking a restroom break or you will be waiting in line forever.
You can get 1L of Jim Beam for $20! Better than the US
Departing the YVR to take the Millennium Line will cost you 9$ a ticket. They don't care for bus passes or polite Canadians. Bring a fare save ticket.
One of the best Airports in North America. Free Wifi is awesome.
Mark KupasrimonkolAugust 19, 2014If you're transferring, its worth rushing to be first in the security line. You will get the pat down, and it's super slow.

Check out the big aquarium in the center of international departures area, after security
Nigel DavisJuly 11, 2011Plenty of outlets for last minuet charging. As well as 4 or 5 book stores per area
Frederik VerleyeOctober 6, 2015First thing I noticed was that there are a lot of Asian migrant workers at the airport
Joel ParentJune 10, 2011Love walking 2 miles for domestic westjet connection and then having to go thru security again! Nice design!
US flight after 8:30pm? You depart out of the International Terminal and will go through customs upon arrival in the US.
vitaminwater bcAugust 24, 2012man, carrying bags, going through security, and trying not to think of the movies snakes on a plane, red eye, and airplane (ok maybe's there's worse) makes me sweat, so grab a vitaminwater a rehydrate
Premium Plaza lounge are much better than Air Canada for food
Mindy KarukApril 17, 2013Construction going on to improve airport, you may be without a Tim Horten's at your gate and will have to walk to the other side
Have a burger from Canadian chain Harvey's while you wait for your bag (domestic terminal)
Canadians now go thru electronic kiosks at #YVR for entry into US, but still need to see agent briefly
If you are going down to pier C for your flight make your cell phone calls before you go... Cell signal (with Rogers anyway) is not very good!
Hit the Tim Hortons by the exit, get a coffee and chilli. Coffee is amazing, chili pretty damn good.
- If you use the global entry machine then you don't need to fill out the blue US departure form.
Never arrive YVR at noon-1pm. Its like 15 flights landing at almost the same time. Lining up for immigration is like lining up for Space Mountain in Disneyland. 90 minutes at best #worstlineever
Kevin TurnerMay 22, 2013Traveling to USA? You'll compete your Customs check here, and skip it when you land.
Monti SamuelMarch 17, 2012The police on their Segas are pretty cool. Beware leaving your car during drop off.
The bear is always here to give you a high 5! #smile #enjoylife
Adam ScherkusJanuary 25Nexus security is on the top floor. They are doing construction down below at main security and you will get priority line but not nexus security…
John BonebrakeJuly 28, 2010Ask the customs agents why Canadian $1 & $2 coins are nicknamed after cartoons just to see their reactions. Their explanations are comical..
Oh and double check the automated machines before inserting your declarations card. It makes customs so much easier, just make sure no one forgot to log out before using the terminal!
If you're making a domestic connection you'll have to go through security again.

"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."

"cinnamon donut is delicious and fresh coffee at tim hortons"

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