Arriving at YVR

If you're arriving by air, you'll most likely be flying into Vancouver International Airport (YVR), Canada’s second busiest airport.

Located just 25 minutes from downtown, YVR is consistently rated one of the best airports in North America and features free public art displays, first-rate shopping, Internet access, children’s play areas and a nursery.

To make trip planning more convenient, there are more than a dozen international flights in and out of YVR every day, with 22 bound for the United States. For an idea of how long it could take to fly to Vancouver, see our international flight time estimates (PDF document) in our map section.

The YVR website also offers a wealth of information on checking-in, checking-out, transfers and useful flight updates.
