TRAVEL RECOMMENDATIONS

Participants are responsible for personally organizing their flight travel to/from Campbell River, British Colombia. For international flights coming into Canada, this will most certainly mean changing planes in Vancouver. We recommend from Vancouver to fly into either Comox Valley Airport (Code: YQQ) or Campbell River Airport (Code: YBL). You will have to change terminals at the Vancouver airport, from North Terminal to South Terminal, to get one of the recommended flights below. Please allow a minimum of 3 hours to change terminals, as this will include going through customs in Vancouver and catching a taxi to South Terminal.

When arriving at Campbell River Airport or Comox Valley Airport, there are no taxis waiting outside the airports. You have to call ahead to arrange for one to be waiting for you.
