Scarym1 and Dr Carson Beckett,

The Canada Line runs from the airport right into it's own station at Waterfront Station. When you get off the train, go to the right and follow the people down the hallway till you come to a escalator and evelator area. Go up into the main part of Waterfront Station. Look to your left and you will t Waterfront station. When you get off the train go to your right and follow the people down the hallway see the entrance to both the skytrain and seabus. Go here and follow the people through the doors. Go to your left as soon as you get through and that is the stair, escalator and evelavator to the Skytrain.

Any questions. Just look for staff with TRANSLINK OR SKYTrain on their jackets, And they will help you find your way.

Usually in the green jackets. Don't worry, the signs are correct, and fairly frequent and you should be able to get around quite easily. Just remember which line you are switching to and you'll be fine

Though taking either the Expo or Millineum Line doesn't matter as they both travel to the Metrotown station.

Thanks everyone for the reassurance. ((((HUGS)))))

Thanks for the advice regarding the Skytrain, really useful.

Do you know how long does it takes from the airport to the station near the Hilton on average please, also any idea of cost. I've never been to Vancouver (or Canada for that matter) so not had the pleasure of the commuter express!!!

Thanks in advance...

It's about 1/2 hour from the airport to Waterfront Station on the Canada line, then another 20 minutes or so to Metrotown from Waterfront Station on the Expo/Millennium line.

If taking a cab, it's about 30CAD and about 20 minutes from the airport.

[Maidenhead Reds]

Ater 9 hours on a flight from London a 20 minute cab sounds really good to me $30 doesn't sound too bad either or is that just me use to London cab fares...

Thanks so much for the info.

You're welcome Good idea about taking a cab because at certain times of the day, the skytrain is crowded and not good for travelers with multiple pieces of luggage. My arrival time co-insides with that time of day.

Cab without a doubt...have done many a flight from Heathrow to YVR, inc 6 Vancouver Cons and the cab ride is most definitely your best option...allow for the money, you won't regret the expense...

Hey mamasue, hlndncr, since we're on the same plane, maybe we could split a taxi.

Deal!

[Maidenhead Reds]

I'm arriving 3pm on the Wednesday so rush hour as i get out of the airport, yeah a cab the best idea...

Only 5 weeks today for my flight, pretty excited and looking forward to meeting everyone, especially the ones that I know from Chevron and AT events over here.

Thanks again for all the advise, i'm sure i will be asking many more questions before my flight :-)

Thanks, consider the money already spent on a taxi :-)

My plane touches down in Vancouver on Thurs at 12:51pm and takes off on Mon at 12:30pm. I am renting a car from the airport so if anyone want a lift to let me know.

Be prepared to see me again - just booked my flight. Not as cheap as I would have liked but manageable.

Since I arrive on Wednesday, the Thursday meeting is definitely a yes for me.

[Jian]

That's my flight too!

Looks like that makes at least 4 of us. I guess folks in AZ like Stargate. ^_^

We're a couple rows back and across the aisle in 14A and 14B.

Our connection is also only 55 mins. Sure hope everything is on time.

I'm in 13F
