British Airways flights to Vancouver land at Vancouver International Airport on Richmond Island, ten miles from Vancouver city centre. British Airways also has direct London flights from Vancouver. After your Vancouver flight lands, hire a car and cruise along Stanley Park Causeway, admiring Vancouver's green and luscious parks. Stretch your flight-stiff legs exploring Vancouver's 55-acre VanDusen Botanical Garden, or get scientific at Telus World of Science. Alternatively, hop on and off a Vancouver Trolley for a perfect sightseeing tour.
Let your hair blow in the wind as you drive a rented convertible after your flight to Vancouver. Watch the sparkling waters dance from Vancouver's Lions Gate Bridge driving into Downtown Vancouver. Saving your pennies? Why not take Vancouver's rapid transit rail link The Canada Line after your flight, which takes 26 minutes to reach Downtown Vancouver. Cheaper still, you could take a post-flight public bus – many Vancouver city routes stop at the airport's terminals.
Once you've settled into Vancouver after your flight, make yourself at home at a lively Granville Street bar and plan your Vancouver holiday. If you love the great outdoors, wake up early and hop on a ferry to Vancouver's aptly named Sunshine Coast, great for fishing, kayaking and wildlife-spotting. Lose yourself in flights of fancy at the Nitobe Garden, discovering the delicate landscaping art of Vancouver's Japanese community, then fill up on Japanese udon noodle soup on Thurlow Street. Shopaholics should pack light on incoming flights, as Vancouver's At MetroTown boasts 470 shops where you'll certainly find something to bring back from Vancouver on your flight home.
