DaydreamAlaska Posted July 13, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Hello all I just booked the Millennium from Seward to Vancouver, now looking for flights fly back to home from Vancouver. I read the ship get back on Friday morning before 8am, what is a realistic expectation to leave the boat and get to airport? thanks Edited July 13, 2015 by DaydreamAlaska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.T.B. Posted July 13, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) It's between 8-9 miles from Canada Place to the airport and you're going through downtown Vancouver to get there. A noon flight is very possible, assuming everything goes VERY well in exiting the ship. Also, there will be a HUGE line waiting for a taxi, so definitely have airport transfers from the ship. It should be about a 20-30 minute trip from the port, but odds are it'll be a bit longer. With that said, you can try for a flight no earlier than 11AM, but I personally wouldn't. Noon or later would definitely be on the safe side of things. When we flew out of Vancouver, we left the next day. It was far easier and cheaper, even with the overnight hotel stay and additional food costs! The airlines know when the cruise ships come in! ;) Edited July 13, 2015 by Kevin T Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwenz Posted July 13, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 13, 2015 If you can manage your bags the sky train is only a short walk from Canada Place. For $4 CDN you can get to the airport very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted July 13, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 13, 2015 We took a red eye back to the UK so took a post cruise excursion to Whistler with airport drop off..... would have loved longer in Vancouver in hindsight..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
