robinboy Posted July 17, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I was looking at a 12:45pm flight from yvr. Our cruise ship is set to dock at 7:30am and we have booked cruiseline transportation to the airport. Will we have enough time to make a 12:45pm flight? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner22aa Posted July 17, 2013 #3 Share Posted July 17, 2013 No worries. I wouldn't fly before noon but anything after is fine. 30 min by cab on average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We disembarked on Friday around 9:45am. We were off the ship, in a cab and home by 11am and we live 15 minutes from YVR. Our cab driver didn't speed either. Seeing that you are from MO, I imagine that you have a connector flight either through Toronto or a US city. If you go through Toronto, you'll be dropped off at the domestic terminal and will go through customs in Toronto. Otherwise, you will go through customs in Vancouver.

rmats Posted July 17, 2013 #5 Share Posted July 17, 2013 There is also the SkyTrain. The station is about a third of a mile walk from Canada Place. Probably the cheapest (any maybe fastest) way to get to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the cheapest (any maybe fastest) way to get to the airport. Indeed many cruise passengers use SkyTrain but it has been breaking down a lot lately causing major problems and back ups. I would never try to negotiate SkyTrain with luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problems that have plagued Skytrain of late have not affected the Canada Line. The trains on the Canada Line are wider and are meant to handle luggage much easier then the Skytrain line which has narrow trains and not as much standing room.

I've taken Skytrain a couple of times to grab cruises, simple to roll luggage on and off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted July 18, 2013 #9 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Thanks, that's cool. I still wouldn't do it, though. If I can afford to cruise, I can afford to take a cab. ;):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban trekker Posted July 18, 2013 #10 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Maybe the reason that can afford a cruise is because they take public transit instead of taxis and/or their own car and use the money saved to go on cruises. Cheers Dennis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dennis! I saved a ton of money using public transportation for the transfers on my most recent cruise. If you are able bodied and willing to do a small amount of research before leaving home, there's really no reason not to. The cruise line transfers are a rip off!
