Terminal Information for Brisbane Airport

Flights to Vancouver from Brisbane leave from Brisbane Airport's International Terminal. People can get between the Domestic Terminal, the International Terminal, and Skygate through the complimentary Airport Shuttle bus. The terminals are about 4 km from each other, and the ride takes about 10 minutes. Skygate is a shopping center at the airport with over 120 discount stores, bars, restaurants, a supermarket, a chemist, a hairdresser, and a bakery.

Both terminals have several ATMs, vending machines, charging stations, parent rooms for feeding and changing infants, toilet and watering facilities for assistance animals, pay phones, and showers. There's a prayer room on Level 4 of the International Terminal, and the entire airport has free wireless internet access. Remember to arrive at the airport about three hours before your flight to pass through security, and let your airline know if you'll need any special assistance, like a wheelchair, when you book your flight.

Travellers will need passports for all Brisbane to Vancouver flights, though Australian citizens can apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to enter Canada, and it costs only CA$7.

What to Expect in Vancouver

Visitors can request a free shuttle to a nearby hotel or rent a car. The Canada Line, Vancouver's rapid transit rail, can take people to downtown Vancouver in about 30 minutes as well. Trains leave from the Domestic and International Terminals, and taxis are also available. Brisbane uses Australian Eastern Standard Time, so Vancouver is 17 hours behind. Vancouver has warm summers (about 18 degrees Celsius in August) and mild winters (about 4 degrees in January) compared to the rest of Canada.

Food and transportation costs are about the same in both cities, but hotel rooms could be less expensive in Vancouver. Australian and Canadian dollars have almost the same value, so calculating currency conversions won't be much of a worry. Low-cost fun for the whole family in Vancouver includes the Capilano Salmon Hatchery and the Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre.
