YVR Turnaround times?
I have a flight to YVR from SFO which lands at 1820hrs on UA.
Is it possible to catch a UA flight to SEA at 2000 hrs on a different ticket?
The connection time is quite tight I think.
Do I need to go out through immigration and back in again?
Is there a way to stay airside?
Thanks!

If it's all UA why not just fly direct? You are virtually flying over SEA to get to YVR!
Other considerations, non NA passport, class of service (back of Y = long delay getting out), mobility and willingness of pax to run, status with UA.

Thanks for the info!
The SFO-YVR flight is already scheduled and paid for, the last leg of a long trip.
I could drop that leg and just get a cheap SFO-SEA flight but that might cause the airline(ANA) to charge me extra for missing a flight(?) and get no miles?
I dont plan on checking bags, just a carryon.
UA/AC flight is because that is the last flight of the day out from YVR to SEA.
AS only has earlier flights.
ya the connection is really tight...maybe i should just layover in YVR for one night.

That route is notorious for delays, I wouldn't risk it. Checked luggage could be a major problem.

If concerned, and I can see why you could be (unless other experts can chime in) you could call ANA and ask if you can cancel that leg ... if it's part of a long trip I can't see that being a major issue, if it's not a major intl. leg that could have had a major impact they could even refund you $xx (then charge you $xx+200 for the change
)Personally, if ticket amendment isn't possible I'd find the cheapest accommodation (is Airbnb legal in YVR?) I could and overnight to reduce stress here. Not stayed in YVR recently, I know it's expensive but I've managed to get extremely cheap places in major cities before if you're not too concerned about the general ambiance of the area (that is, the people picking me up said don't go for a walk!).
