TransitVancouver International Airport (YVR) is consistently rated one of the best airports in North America. There are more than a dozen international flights in and out of YVR every day, with 22 bound for the United States. View a list of airlines that serve the airport, and view a list of flight times to Vancouver from cities around the world. Vancouver International Airport is approximately 8.5 miles from the JW Marriott Parq Vancouver. The hotel does not provide shuttle service to and from the airport and, as of late April 2018, Uber and Lyft services are not yet available in Vancouver. Thus, it is easiest to transfer to the hotel by taxi (@ $30 CAD). Alternatively, attendees may take the Canada Line SkyTrain from the international terminal to the Yaletown-Roundhouse Station (@ $9.10 CAD) and walk 10 minutes via Pacific Blvd. to reach the hotel (walk towards the large stadium, the hotel is located just in front of it).
