This airport was one of the best I've been to, most likely my favourite. There was plenty of very…read morebeautiful artwork throughout the terminal, and it was very open, spacious, and inviting. There was plenty of seats available, it was very clean, and there was an extensive selection of food and beverage stores in the E gates. The directions were very clear, and all the staff were very friendly and willing to help. The lines at security and customs and immigration were very short. The Wi-Fi there was free and very fast. Overall, this is an excellent airport: it considerably exceeded my expectations, and I would go out of my way to fly through YVR again.

Terminus station for the Canada Line in the heart of Richmond, across from Richmond Centre…read more As there is only a single track feeding this station, there is only 1 platform. Basically show up and take the train out of Richmond. There is some neat mirror artwork on the platform level. Something to look at while using the escalators. Speaking of escalators, my one complaint is that the escalator only goes up. Anyone heading down has to take the stairs. With that said, I'm sure there's an elevator somewhere.

At this point the track splits (one fork to YVR, other fork to Richmond-Brighouse), so be sure to check which fork your train is on. This information is displayed at the front of the train (both inside and outside). As this station is also a major hub for buses servicing Richmond and Delta/Tsawwassen, it can get busy.

There are automated ticket vending machines and turnstiles as well as escalators and an elevator from the street level to the train platform level. The station is in Zone 2. It is the next-to-last stop on the Richmond-Brighouse fork of the Canada Line. The next inbound station is Aberdeen towards waterfront. There are display screens noting the next arrival and an overhead announcement too. I would imagine that it gets quite cold on that platform in the winter, but my visit in summertime was just fine.

Big. Clean. Efficient. That the whole review. I'm kidding, but it could be. For many, myself…read moreincluded Vancouver international was my introduction to Canada...atleast since childhood. After navigating the maze to customs (typical), while absorbing a bit of the cultureI arrived to a surprisingly calm, low stress process to baggage. I walked right up to a customs kiosk, chose my preferred language, answered the typical questions, snapped a pic and received a slip of paper. That paper went to an officer and I was on my way. No fuzz, no language barriers, no targeted "intimidation intending"!interrogation, no stare downs...can you tell I've recently been to Germany? Just peace, and honesty, it looked to be that way for most everyone who passed through. Our return trip to Houston I was reminded that as a country, we've pissed Canada off. My husband was randomly selected for additional screening...okay, but then my bag was super searched. The same one with the same items I've carried to 6+ other countries in the last couple of years

I do appreciate that trams are not needed to transfer you to the different airlines , just a LOT of walking between the four levels. -Level one is a service plaza with restaurants and convenience stores -Level two is for domestic and international arrivals with baggage carousels. -Level three is for domestic and international departures. -Level four is where you can catch the Canada line Skytrain. The Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel is conveniently connected for to travelers. It's just a five to ten minute walk away. This airport has won awards for its special nature inspired West Coast design. Highlights include an aquarium with 800 animals, a creek, Indigenous sculptures and totem poles throughout the airport. As with all airports, it is congested at times but being the second busiest international airport in the country, I expect this.

It is named after the nearby shopping mall, Aberdeen Centre. The location of this station is convenient as it convenient to numerous Asian shopping malls in the area. In addition to the aforementioned Aberdeen Centre, it is within walking distance of Yaohan Centre, President Plaza and Parker Place. If you are looking for good Chinese food, you will find plenty of it in the vicinity of this station. On my last trip to Richmond, I ended up using this station the most. The hotel (Pacific Gateway) in Richmond I was staying at had an airport shuttle, but didn't have one for Richmond. So I ended up walking to and from here quite often when I wanted to head north to Vancouver. While I would have liked this station to have been closer, it was still within reasonable walking distance and it was only about a 20 minute walk. The waiting times at this station are a bit longer than at the previous station (Bridgeport) because the southbound Canada Line splits off with one part headed to this station, while the other one is YVR bound. Still the waiting time during the daytime is 6 minutes at the most which seems reasonable. If you need to get to and from Richmond's Golden Village from downtown Vancouver, I would recommend taking a SkyTrain to this station as it is convenient and has frequent train service.

Newest stop along the Canada Line . Other than rush hour there's just not a lot of foot traffic so…read morethe premises remain quite clean and quiet . For now . With its advantageous location being a stone's throw from say Yaohan Centre (think awesome food court) and some newly completed condos it'll surely get busier in the near future .
