How long after plane lands to get baggage and go trough customs?

I agree it took us about a half an hour if that to get some through everything

What does YVR mean or stand for

Every Airport has its own three letter code. Canada is special, because every three letter code in canada starts with a Y .. then they adopted their telegraph system which had 2 letters.. VR Vancouver , OW Ottawa, YZ Malton Station near Toronto and so on..

Is there help available for a disabled/ wheelchair person and luggage to catch a hotel shuttle bus outside the arrivals terminal?

Help/ assistance can be selected at the time of booking check with the airlines you are flying.

My brother cought by immigration how I know where he is and what happened urgent

He is probably detained and in a holding cell inside the CBSA offices in the Arrivals Hall

Is wifi service available in the Vancouver airport arrival area?

Yes and it is easy to sign in

How can I get confiscated items back from security after I return to yvr

You cannot get your items back if you've surrendered them.

Is there a place where i can leave my luggages overnight before my flight? If yes, where?

Yes there are luggage storage bins all over the airport

what would the estimated cost from YVR to Park Royal

If you mean by taxi, there are set rates for different areas in Vancouver http://www.yvr.ca/en/passengers/transportation/taxis but North and West Vancouver aren't included. This site estimates $57 from YVR to Park Royal https://www.taxifarefinder.com/main.php?city=Vancouver&from=Vancouver+International+Airport%2C+3211+Grant+McConachie+Way%2C+Richmond%2C+British+Columbia+V7B+1W2%2C+Canada&to=Park+Royal+North%2C+West+Vancouver%2C+British+Columbia+V7T+2W4%2C+Canada&fromCoord=49.195564,-123.17835&toCoord=49.327286,-123.13795

What are the last hours of operation of SKY train from Vancouver Airport to City Center Station?

The last train departs from YVR at 01:05

I havea flight to Havana leaving at 5:50 a.m. What time do I need to be at the check in counter?

I agree with Lyle 2 hours. It took me about an hour and 40 minutes to get through for an international flight.

This a beautiful and calm part of the Vancouver airport. There are a lot of shops and restaurants open late at night. There is a great children’s area near gate 53. It has a play equipment and children’s movie area. There is a beautiful aquarium with sea urchin, starfish, and large fish. There are lovely indigenous art throughout the space.

Huge airport that was able to handle all the people in a very organized way. We got through rather quickly and on to the hotel. Nice artwork to keep you entertained. Getting a cab was the most difficult part of the day and the cost to downtown was rather high. Remember to check the exchange rate for US dollars

Great experience with the West Jet team as always, was travelling with pets usually it's difficult. We had to go through check bag services because we had pets with us. We got checked in quick, taken care of quick.The security team made it a seamless and painless experience and handled us with care.We were given additional assistance to find out gate and relax before flight.Boarding was great, we got in settled and the West jet team made sure our cats were comfortable

I love our airport for the friendly people, the efficiency and the artwork throughout. It is a pretty place. Although the airport is growing rapidly and is quite big, there is always a small town feel to it. Beautiful. My only disappointment is the restaurants and cafes could be so much better! We are a culinary capital and it should reflected at the airport.

Vancouver is smaller than Pearson but not by much. It has massive potential as Air Canada's hub to trans-Pacific flights. There is that charming West Coast feel as I walked through the carpeted corridors. Although many shops were closed during my layover and it was quiet overall, I am sure this place has been well-used during it's heyday and I look eager for a return soon!

This is a big airport. I love the all the artwork. The airport is built very smartly. Easy to navigate. Love the floor to ceiling windows to see the airplanes. Long term parking is a long walk away, depending how packed the parking lot is. You can only quickly drop off and pick up people near the entrances as staff is there to make sure you get going. You can be ticketed also. I've been at this airport many times to both fly and pick up friends/family. This is one of my favorite airports. Pretty much every flight to where you wanna go, leaves here. Complete international airport. Did I mention it's a big airport?

I love the warm, cozy feel of YVR. Upon arriving at immigration, you're welcomed with a waterfall, warm blue carpet and totem poles. The feeling of calmness is also shown with the quick and efficient immigration lines. By answering a few questions of the machine, you can proceed easily. If you are departing, security is also above average. The tranquil nature of Vancouver is also present here with coin ponds and a large fish tank. The terminal can be easily navigated. However, I did find the amount of stores and places to get a quick bite much more limited here compared to other airports. Overall, great airport though

If you are either a passenger or an employee, this airport never fails to impress its professional well layed out design. It helps passengers get to where they need to be quickly with allowances for hospitality. It also helps employees navigate employee only and passenger areas with ease. Great airport for efficiency, cleanliness and effective service.

An exceptionally well finished and appointed airports, one of the nicest I’ve visited, particularly the International Departures wing. Well worth arriving early to decompress and enjoy all that there is to see and do. There is extensive shopping including everything from groceries to Cartier, numerous lounges and restaurants and two priority pass lounges that are as above average as the rest of that wing of the airport.

We were at Vancouver International Airport twice in the summer of 2019. We liked the staff and facilities of this the second busiest airport in Canada. Upon arrival we had a smooth check out as some of the procedures were automated. We found our way to the Harbour Air pick-up point where a bus took us to the Harbour Air float plane terminal at Richmond. Our departure by Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong was also pleasant even though we arrived at the airport two hours early. There was a food court and lounge where we had our dinner. The waiting area was well decorated and furnished with some local motifs and totems.

I'm giving this "international" airport two stars for being warm, dry, and secure. 2:30 in the afternoon after traveling across Canada and nearly everything is closed. It literally looks like a ghost town. There are no information agents to help you, just a questionable community telephone on which you can spin the wheel of disease for assistance, in the midst of a GLOBAL PANDEMIC.The one burger joint that is open has arrows for direction and markings for social distancing while ordering; however, they are only there to confuse the wary traveler; you actually line up from the other side and stand close together.Vancouver "International" Airport social distancing is to close off 1/3 of the food court to have everyone as tightly packed as possible. Absolutely brilliant.

Came here on a connection to Los Angeles on Air Canada. Arrived here from Calgary. Besides from some of the long lineups the airport has great food options to offer, and has also got convenient signs to help navigate you through the terminal. Also has excellent views of the downtown. Nice experience overall.

Very upset about the outrageous parking situation at Vancouver International Airport. We were leaving for six days and expected to leave our car in long-term parking. Not only was the long-term lot closed, but we had to park in the short term lot with no apparent plan in place to provide long-term parking rates. I have called Vancouver Airport Customer Service 3 times and have yet to receive a return call. Very poor management and lack of planning ahead as to how to make the airport as user friendly as possible.

Super empty at the moment. Note that the location for the gates has changed. Departure gate (c&d) for international is more towards the pre-covid domestic gate now. Parking also has changed. Please remember your level when you exit, we didn't and it took a while... Instead of being funnel to the parking level as before, you will be parked instead at the " arrival" level.

Well maintained and clean. Access to trains and shuttles, taxis etc made very easy. The exit is a little confusing and during COVID times, can improve on signages or assistance of customer support internally. Travellers buy food before boarding or you are guaranteed to be looking for every kiosk and snacking on unhealthy food.

I go here when I want to fly somewhere. They seem to always be doing construction on the parking. This has to be one of the nicest airports I've flown into and out of. The food area post security has really gotten better. The addition of the skytrain service is nice. I have nexus and never really have to wait in line when going through security.

One of the busiest airports in North America. A big gateway to flights to Asia and Oceania. Also a lot of flights to Canada, the US, and elsewhere.The size of the airport is well-equipped to facilitate it's daily need in handling passengers. The stores and restaurants are excellent. Sometimes you think you're at a mall instead of an Airport.It's one glitch is that it's missing an indoor bus system or cart system similar to that of Calgary that takes passengers from terminal to terminal. That would be a big help.

Covid19 travel: Airport facilities were very clean which was good. Security checkpoint for domestic travel however felt fairly busy and couldn't tell if I feel safe from the invisible enemy. Regardless, they let me take my time in putting my things my way on the belt without feeling pressured which was good.
