With GE, pre-clearance will be a snap but security can be slow even if the priority lane is open.

Same day flight changes

Thank you, James. SDC would be an option if I didn’t want to get home as early as possible today, We ended up taking the 4am shuttle from our hotel, had to check in at the desk, went through the priority screening and were in line for global entry doc checks before they even opened at 4:30. Not sure if we were lucky or if it was a quiet morning at YVR!
