Earliest Airline Departure Time in Vancouver

[LAN]

We will be coming off the Island Princess from an Alaskan cruise and wanted to know the earliest possible departure flight we could take from the Vancouver airport. Is a 10:30 a.m. departure too early?

YES - 10:30 is definitely too early. Do not book anything before noon.

Not a chance. Arriving into Vancouver you'll need to clear Canadian Customs/Immegration (fairly quick normally) and get to the airport (1/2 hour away).

 

Once you check in, you then pre-clear US Customs & Immigration (anywhere up to 90 mins) before you even get to security...

On Mondays normally the Island/Coral is the only ship in town so pressure at cutoms is reduced, however a 10:30 is still not doable. If you can handle you own luggage and can self-disembark or can use US Direct then 11:30 while tight, can me made. Otherwise plan on something in the ealry afternoon.
