Min connection times? (YVR,YYJ and YCD)

Just a quick question ...

Does anyone happen to have the min connection times for YVR, YYJ and YCD (domestic-domestic)?

Besfore you ask, yes I am planning a BC run!

Best Regards

Bradley

Whatever the connect times are be careful not to cut things too close. I have seen too many instances where misconnects are placed on standby for full flights and are stranded for hours even though its AC's responsibility to get them to their destination. Be especially careful on Fridays, Sundays and any holidays, especially later in the day. PS - August 5 is a holiday in BC.

Is a 1 hour 10 min connection too tight for YVR B or C gate to an Intl flight (UK)?

YYJ is minutes - you don't even have to leave the secured area (if you already have your boarding pass). There is one combined arrival/departues lounge, no gate is more than 40ft apart. Your only issue would be a late flight, the airport is tiny.

Sorry, should have been clearer. I'm referring to YVR. Coming into the domestic gates, would typically be C, but B is getting used a lot these days. Will be departing from Intl (don't know letter code) for LHR. Will also have a four year old in tow. Do you think 1 hour 10 mins is enough?

I should be the one appologising.. I didn't notice that OP was four years old, and thats what I was replying to!!

I don't spend as much time at YVR but its still not that big an airport. Provided nothing goes wrong and the security line hasn't gone crazy you should be fine. Depending on the construction you may have to take a less than direct route, but thats not too big a deal.
