talking about prices - my friend was/is looking for a flight to Edmonton in june - he found it would be $485 Return!! from YVR to YEG and than he looked it up and From Abbotsford a flight is $253!!! return
I wonder if the price difference is the landing fees etc?
he can pretty much get two tickets for the price of one by flying out of Abbotsford
Probably its on sale..
I just looked up at WestJet website.. and going from YXX is only about $15 cheaper than YVR.
Went to YVR today, got to say that new Link Building is quite dark inside even with all the lights turned on. They need more lighting, and should've built more skylights.
As for the Canada Line, great progress. I was on the 424, some young Australian couple in front of me that just got off a flight was remarking at the "airport people mover construction". We took the same buses at Airport Station, transfering to southbound 98, then I heard the guy say "wow, those are some short stations".
Man, there are some real crazies out there. I just got home from YVR via YYC, and damn... it was a bit of a scary flight. First, there was some convict being escorted by two police officers, legs shackled and hands cuffed, got to pre-board and sit at the back of the plane. Then, there was this WEIRD guy sitting in front of me who started freaking out twice during the flight and SLAMMING the window... I was like... WTH... it kind of freaked me out. Thank goodness the windows are thick... flying WestJet really makes me miss the executive and first class seats of some US airlines and JAL. Oh and then I saw the new Canada Line trains... actually MOVING! It was kind of exciting

Still beats Air Canada!

I went to Singapore via. Seoul on Singapore Airlines last May and took these photos of the West Chevron wing of YVR.
It seems that there are very few pictures of the West Chevron wing of the International Terminal at YVR. It opened just last year and extended the number of gates for international flights.
So all of this is pier C? It looks massive, any renderings?
That is all of the expanded Pier C, I don't think they have released any renderings yet, but there may be some on the information boards where I took the pictures of the models

nname, you got it exactly right, that is the correct configuration. C37 and C39 can handle widebodies, not A380 tho; they usually take the 767 and A330 widebodies, and used to take the 747 domestic flights back when AC still had them. im sure the 777 can use those gates too, but as of right now the 777 to Toronto uses "swing gates" C/D 50, 51, or 52, as the flight arrives international from Sydney (pax get off to clear customs) and then departs as a domestic flight to toronto.
as for the domestic expansion, it looks good, it is going to add a food court and shopping options, which are ver lacking from the current C-pier.
