realnice46 Posted September 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Our flight arrives in Vancouver Friday at 11AM and will make appointment for test that same day. What is earliest I should schedule appointments to allow for going thru customs, picking up baggage and transportation to our hotel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwlane Posted September 6, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Who knows if your flight will be on time? How far is the hotel from the airport? Too many variables. I'd just self-test with Emed or on Saturday with OnPoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Aurora Posted September 6, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Last April we were through the formalities at the Vancouver airport in about 40 minutes. Neither of us was randomly selected for covid-19 testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musik07 Posted September 7, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 7, 2022 My last few flights (including one to Vancouver) have all gotten in late at least 2 hours. Maybe it is bad luck, maybe just a sign of the times. I would figure a few hours for delays, and then 2-3 hours at the airport. When we flew through Vancouver last there was a 'baggage delay' and it took over an hour after we were through passport control to get our bags. We then waited at for a taxi for a good bit of time.I think we arrived at our hotel 4 hours late. May be worth it to travel with a pack of rapid tests that are acceptable for an online proctor service incase you miss your appointments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use a government free covidctest and test with Rapidtestandtrace.com or another proctored test. Impossible without knowing where you are staying. Bottom line is IF your flight is on time and IF your flight doesn't change and IF your luggage arrives and IF customs goes quickly maybe 2 hours. Again it could be the next day.

I made our appointment for 2PM that gives us 3 hrs, so we should be good. We can cancel if it looks like we would be late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
