Checkin/Bag Claim for ATL-YVR/YVR-SEA-ATL?
I'm trying to decide whether to park at the Domestic or Intl. terminal for an ATL-YVR/YVR-SEA-ATL itinerary. We will be checking bags.
Thanks
- I assume I need to check-in at the Int'l terminal for the outbound flight since we will be checking bags. Or is Vancouver, Canada treated as domestic?
- I know we pre-clear customs and immigration at YVR. I assume our bags from the SEA-ATL leg will go to Domestic bag claim in ATL on the last leg. Is that correct?
Thanks

Vancouver is treated as a domestic flight. All immigration will be handled at YVR in both directions; the airport has a US preclearance facility. I would expect baggage to be delivered to the domestic baggage claim upon arrival home.
That said, the flight departs from the E gates, so checking in at the international terminal would put you marginally closer to your departure gate - so your offsite parking idea might be the most convenient.
