Find cheap flights to Vancouver

You can find flights to Vancouver, Canada, from a good few UK cities, with most airlines flying either from London, Manchester or Edinburgh. From London, you can reach Vancouver in roughly 9h 45min, which is one of the quicker flights available on this route. You can fly from Edinburgh in about 13h 15min on the shorter flights, with others taking about 15h 40min. If you want to leave from Manchester, the quicker flights will take about 14h 20min to get you to Vancouver.

You’ll be able to fly directly from the UK to Vancouver out of London Heathrow Airport (LHR). Air Canada flies the majority of these, landing about 9h 45min after take-off, at Vancouver International Airport (YVR), Vancouver. Alternatively, you can fly with Finnair, departing from Heathrow and landing in Vancouver after a flight of around 9h 40min. A third option is to depart from Heathrow on American Airlines, which also takes roughly 9h 40min to make the trip. If you’re flying from Manchester or Edinburgh, you won’t find any direct Vancouver flight deals, unfortunately. But if you don’t want to travel to London to board a flight, you can book one on Lufthansa from Manchester Airport (MAN), stopping over at Frankfurt am Main Airport (FRA) before continuing to Vancouver; your travel time will be about 13h 25min. Coming from Scotland, you can catch a British Airways flight from Edinburgh Turnhouse Airport (EDI), which stops at Heathrow in between. These flights take around 13h 15min.

Public transport options from Vancouver Airport to downtown Vancouver are wide ranging. A quick way to get there is to catch the N10 BC Connector bus, which will get you to the city centre in about 17min. You can also use the subway – Translink CA trains leave every 10min or so from the airport, bound for Vancouver City Centre Station. You’ll arrive at Platform 1, and the trip will take about 24min. If you prefer to catch a taxi or hire a car, it’s around an 18min drive, and the same holds for a town car that you can lease from Jayride Private Transfers.

As a UK citizen, you won’t be required to have a visa to enter Canada and visit Vancouver. However, you will need to organise an Electronic Travel Authorisation. You’ll need this eTA to board your flight in the UK. Your passport only needs to be valid for the duration of your stay.

Vancouver has a lot to offer tourists, from seafront attractions to historical landmarks. Stanley Park is one of the most popular destinations in the city; it’s a peninsula, with a seawall that surrounds a forested park and the Vancouver Aquarium. You can also view the traditional Native American totem poles at Brockton Point. For theatres, restaurants and nightclubs, visit the Granville Island district, where you’ll also find art galleries, retail warehouses and the Granville Island Public Market for local fresh produce and seafood caught off the coast. To get an unrivalled panoramic view of Vancouver, take a short drive up Grouse Mountain, which overlooks the city. You’ll also find a Museum of Anthropology, and you can experience the city’s cultural history in its old quarter, Gastown, with its carefully restored Victorian-era buildings. Then head for the Millennium Gate, the entrance to Vancouver’s famously authentic Chinatown, where the sightseeing highlight is the walled Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden. A popular beach in Vancouver is English Bay, which also has a large outdoor area for activities like roller-blading and art installations. You’ll find some of the city’s best restaurants here, too.
