  • There is no scheduled nonstop between YCD and YVR. Every itinerary connects, so sort results by total travel time rather than price alone.
  • Departing on a Wednesday averages 18% less than a Sunday on this route. If your dates are flexible, shift the outbound by a day or two and check the calendar view before you book.
  • Book 6 to 12 weeks ahead; fares climb in the last three weeks and around holidays.
  • At 33 miles this is a short hop of 30m, so an early-morning departure, which is usually the cheapest and most punctual of the day, costs you little sleep.

Destination guide

Vancouver: Mountains, ocean and the best Asian food in North America

Vancouver sits between the Pacific and the Coast Mountains, a short flight from Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Stanley Park, Granville Island and Whistler's ski slopes two hours north make it a year-round destination.

Best time to visit: June–September is dry and warm — the best time for the seawall, beaches and hiking. December–March is ski season for Whistler and the North Shore; spring and fall are wet but cheap.
