Horizon and AC fly to YVR....

I will tell you a story; I was flying back from YVR to EWR via SEA. I was on a CO ticket where the YVR-SEA leg was on QX (Horizon).

Well there was a blizzard that day in EWR and all flights were cancelled. Well QX let me board and FLY to SEA (not knowing the flight was cancelled) and when I got there I found out I was stuck there until the next day. CO offered me hotel coupons that would give me a discount to about $50 a night.

I decided to spend the $50 on a rental car. I went into the President's Club, logged on to alamo.com and got a full size are for about $65 for the day. I then drove up to YVR (2.5 hours) spent the night with my girlfriend at the time and then drove back the next day to SEA for my flight back to EWR.

So, renting a car to me is the best and cheapest way to get to YVR. However, if you are doing one way rental, there may be an extra charge.
