Vancouver International Airport Issues Urgent Warning About International Travel as Boxing Day causes Delay

Vancouver International Airport recommends travelers use the Canada Line to bypass traffic delays.

Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is advising travelers to plan ahead for trips to and from the airport on Boxing Day, Thursday.

The McArthurGlen outlet mall is expected to draw large crowds of bargain hunters, adding to traffic congestion in the area.

Passengers flying out of YVR or picking someone up are encouraged to use the Canada Line for a smoother journey.

For those who need to drive, YVR recommends allowing extra time and arranging parking in advance. Travelers can pre-book parking at yvr.ca/parking for added convenience.

Boxing Day shoppers are also urged to opt for the Canada Line, as McArthurGlen is just a short walk from Templeton Station. Drivers heading to the outlet mall should prepare for potential delays accessing the shopping center.

Traffic control teams, including RCMP officers, personnel, and clear signage, will be on hand to guide drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians effectively.

All road users are advised to follow instructions from traffic officials and adhere to the posted signage.

Travelers are also encouraged to stay informed by checking their flight status directly with their airline and keeping an eye on traffic updates for the latest road conditions.
