augies Posted October 13, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2011 What's the earliest flight time we can book out of Vancouver after our cruise to Alaska in 9/2012? According to our itinerary, the ship docks at 7:30 am. We are flying home to Orlando and there aren't many afternoon flights. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beg3yrs Posted October 13, 2011 #2 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Flight Guidelines: Vancouver Embarking Passengers For voyages that depart from Vancouver at 4:30 pm, the latest flight arrival is 2:00 pm for international flights and 2:30 pm for domestic flights. For voyages that depart from Vancouver at 5:30 pm, the latest flight arrival is 2:30 pm for international flights and 3:00 pm for domestic flights. For voyages that depart from Vancouver at 4:00 pm, the latest flight arrival is 1:30 pm for international flights and 2:00 pm for domestic flights. Disembarking Passengers For voyages that arrive in Vancouver at 7:30 am, the earliest flight departure is 12:00 pm for international flights and 11:00 am for domestic flights. For voyages that arrive Vancouver at 10:00 am, the earliest flight departure is 2:30 pm for international flights and 1:30 pm for domestic flights. Every time we've disembarked in Vancouver we had to stay an extra night in town. Not a bad place to visit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you take a shuttle to Seattle , you'll probably have to overnight in Vancouver . If you take the shuttle to Seattle , you'll only be able to take a red eye to Orlando. We have taken the red-eye and not a good idea. Either way you'll have to overnight in Vancouver (preferred) or Seattle.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vexorg Posted October 14, 2011 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Usually the flight options aren't that much better in Seattle anyway. Alaska Air has a nonstop from SEA-MCO, but it's usually fairly expensive, and you would probably have to do it as a redeye anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted October 14, 2011 #5 Share Posted October 14, 2011 In actual fact the ships are along side at Canada Place between 6 am and 7 am. If you can self disembark then you should be off the ship by 8 am and thru Canadian customs by 8:30 am latest. At that point you are about 35 mins from YVR by cab or you can walk over to Waterfront Station (about 2.5 blocks) and take the Canada Line out to YVR...that will take about 35/40 mins in total. Therefore you will be at YVR shortly after 9 am and and if you allow 2 full hours for clearing US Customs and security you will make a flight for 11:30.

runnerodb83 Posted October 14, 2011 #6 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I'd like to point out that if you are cruising into Vancouver in the beginning or end of the alaska season, you might get caught up in some nasty weather which could cause delays. This is more frequent on coastal cruises but ive heard about it on alaska cruises as well. get a late flight if possible. if you are heading to the east coast, most flights either leave early or are red eyes anyway.

kruisey Posted October 14, 2011 #8 Share Posted October 14, 2011 You take the Quick Shuttle its just over the border. Look up flight times from there .Alot of Vancouverites are using that airport now because of the outrageous prices charged flying out of Vancouver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
