Vancouver to Kelowna Flight Tickets

Metro/Train (SkyTrain Canada Line – From Downtown to YVR)

The most straightforward way to get from downtown to YVR is again via the Canada Line. You can board trains heading towards “YVR–Airport” from stations like Waterfront Station, Vancouver City Centre Station, Yaletown–Roundhouse Station, and Olympic Village Station. The journey time from downtown to the YVR–Airport station is approximately 20–25 minutes depending on the station you board from. Services run approximately every 6–7 minutes during peak hours and every 10–12 minutes during other times. The line's operating hours likely start around 5:00 AM and continue until about 1:00 AM.

Bus (Indirect access from Downtown)

There is no municipal bus line directly from downtown Vancouver to YVR; instead, you can use a bus + Canada Line combination. For example, you can take numerous buses passing through Granville Street, Main Street, Broadway (such as 9, 99 B-Line), and Cambie Street to reach the Broadway–City Hall or Marine Drive Canada Line stations and transfer to the train from there. Reaching a station on the Canada Line from downtown by bus changes the total journey time to between 30–45 minutes.
