Vancouver International Airport (YVR) sits on Sea Island in Richmond, about 9 miles from downtown Vancouver, and is Air Canada’s major gateway to Asia and the Pacific.
Domestic, International, and South Terminals
YVR splits traffic across a Domestic Terminal, an International Terminal (which includes US-bound flights cleared through American customs preclearance before departure), and a smaller South Terminal for regional carriers serving destinations within British Columbia.
The Canada Line Reaches Downtown in Under 25 Minutes
The Canada Line SkyTrain connects directly to both the Domestic and International Terminals via indoor walkways and runs into downtown Vancouver in about 23 to 25 minutes, with trains every 7 to 20 minutes depending on the time of day.
US Preclearance Saves Time on Arrival
Because US-bound flights clear American customs and border protection in Vancouver before departure, passengers land at their US destination as a domestic arrival, skipping the immigration line on the other end.
