Looks like I'm following in the footsteps of giants, I'm at SFO right now waiting on UA 2239 to YVR which is expected to be on time.

I'm at the C SEA Board Room dba Alaska Lounge, waiting on AS 2508. I'm hoping to make it on the last SkyTrain into town.

Where should I go after exiting the customs hall? I've only done the train to Pacific Central or caught an airport hotel shuttle bus.

As soon as you exit the Customs Hall, head out the nearest exit door - straight ahead, just keep walking straight. Cross the street to the parking garage and go up the escalator (up two levels). You’ll see signs -Trains to City. It is a 30 second walk. Get off at Vancouver City Centre station and it is a couple minutes walk to the Westin Grand.

Got in a little early (thanks, United) and had no issues with border control (thanks, CBSA). Waiting on the SkyTrain now.
