Air Canada's trans-Pacific gateway, where Asia's best business cabins meet the mountains.
Vancouver International (YVR) is Air Canada's trans-Pacific gateway, with Signature Class widebodies linking the city nonstop to Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland. Asian carriers answer in force — Cathay Pacific, EVA Air, Korean Air and Japan Airlines all fly flagship cabins into YVR.
Europe is covered too: British Airways from London Heathrow, Lufthansa from Frankfurt, KLM from Amsterdam and Air France from Paris, several heavier in summer when cruise traffic surges. Peak-summer cabins sell out early; winter brings some of Canada's softest long-haul business fares.
48 origin airports with nonstop service to Vancouver

| Route | Typical published fare | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| From the U.K. & Europe | $3,500–$6,500 round trip | Nonstop on British Airways, Lufthansa, KLM or Air France as of August 2026. |
| From Asia | $4,000–$7,500 round trip | Cathay Pacific, EVA and Korean Air nonstops; fares firm up around Lunar New Year. |
| From Australia & New Zealand | $5,000–$8,500 round trip | Air Canada flies Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland nonstop; one-stops via Los Angeles can undercut. |
Vancouver's premium cabins peak with the Alaska cruise season from May through September, when Europe-to-YVR flights fill months out — book 4–6 months ahead. Whistler adds a winter bump around Christmas and February. October through April outside the holidays is the value window; 6–10 weeks of lead time is enough.
