 Seattle to Vancouver route by rmdw
However, the prices for flying in & out of SeaTac, in nearby Seattle, are often MUCH better.
Which brings up the question: "How do I get from Seattle to Vancouver?" There are two convenient ways:
1. Quick Shuttle
2. Amtrak Cascades - Rail & bus service
The former leaves directly from the Seattle airport. But if their schedule is not convenient for you then take a taxi downtown to the Amtrak Station (303 South Jackson St.) and you'll be able to catch something there. Both provide service right into downtown Vancouver. Leave a Comment

Flying into Vancouver was very expensive from Chicago, I looked into flying into Seattle and either renting a car or taking a bus, I believe it takes about 3 hours to do this. If you book early enough you can get $99 one way fares on Southwest into Seattle . But since it was just me traveling, I bit the bullet and flew directly into Vancouver on United. The plane was full in both directions, mostly because of cruise line passengers who fly into Vancouver to start their Alaskan cruises, and I was crushed into a seat obviously made for someone no taller than 4'10", if the person in front of me had tried to recline, they would have been sitting in my lap. And exit rows seats are now going for a premium of an additional $50, not to mention the $5 charge for a snack. Well, at least they still let you watch movies for free :-)
The customs line was long but I got through that before my luggage came out. Oddly, on a day when there was a terrorism red alert in the US and serious security delays in Britian because of the shampoo terrorists, I was only asked two questions by customs, to which I gave highly suspicious answers, and passed right through.
I think the only public transport option from Vancouver is the bus although I understand a subway link is coming. I was lucky enough to get a ride from YVRDave on my way in and Robert insisted on a cab on the way back (I think he wanted to sleep longer) which was a little over $20, would be slightly more from downtown.

There's a Skytrain which is fast, but there's only one line at the moment. Buses will be the thing to use. They're clean, quite cheap and efficient. Inside the city, congestion is a major issue - avoid rush hour at all cost if you can! Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Air: Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is Canada's Pacific gateway and is served by most North American and International carriers. It is located on Sea Island, 20 km south of Downtown Vancouver.
Discussions about when and how to build a rapid transit line to YVR for the 2010 Olympics are ongoing. Presently, the #404 bus from the terminals to "Airport Station" (a bus loop 4 km E of the airport) will connect you with an express bus (#98) which goes Downtown. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane
