Best time to travel to Vancouver

Peak Season:

The months of June through September are warm, but breezy. These months are popular with tourists, as the excellent climate makes a stroll across the Seawall, a nap in the sun at Kitsilano Beach, or a morning spent exploring the Vandusen Botanical Garden a real treat.

Shoulder Season:

As most tourists prefer to avoid the rain and humidity, inexpensive flights to Vancouver are easy to find from January to May. If you do not mind the occasional walk through the rain, this is a good time to socialise with the locals at the Cambie pub or the Celluloid Social Club.These months also boast numerous events, such as the Chinese New Year Festival in late January and early February, the Celtic Cultural Celebration in March, the Vancouver Sun Run in April, and the Vancouver International Children's Festival in May.

Off Season:

Vancouver's off-season begins in October and ends in December. Though flights are less expensive than the peak season, they may be a little pricier than in the shoulder season. This is largely due to an influx of skiers that head to the nearby slopes of Grouse Mountain, Seymour, and Cypress.

Do you have any tips for my flight to Vancouver?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Vancouver in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Vancouver?
Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Vancouver a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
