LAN Posted July 8, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 8, 2009 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseryyc Posted July 8, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 8, 2009 YES - 10:30 is definitely too early. Do not book anything before noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a 10:30 a.m. departure too early? 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted July 9, 2009 #4 Share Posted July 9, 2009 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. http://www.portmetrovancouver.com/about/cruiseandtourism/usdirectprocess.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
