YVR - Airport

Excellent!

Very unusual and distinctive West Coast First Nations’ large cedar carvings are in both spacious International & Domestic Terminals —with wide variety of popular brand fast food outlets plus souvenir/ news/ clothing stores. State-of-art Canada Line rapid subway transit provides fast, affordable transportation to heart of downtown Vancouver & Richmond. With excellent service by taxis, hotel shuttles & limousine.

The airport is alright however there seems to be a larger shift on the retail of tax free goods. If you have money you want to spend, by all means have at it. I use the airport for the air travel... The good thing about this area is their train system. It's very simple and easy to understand as long as you have credit card.

Very easy to use your credit card as a pass, if chip reader enabled just hold it against scanner and doors will open (note has to be MasterCard or Visa). The trains are very easy to navigate and the bus line also uses the same card reader i.e. don't need to purchase special tokens or worry about cash. Much cheaper then taxi and just as fast. Trains arrive pretty much every 6 minutes when I was at Vancouver.

The Canada Line servicing to YVR is just great people can go to downtown easily and connect to other transportation methods around The Lower Mainland!
