To my knowledge, cheapest fares are usually from Northwest or UA. But personally, I'd rather take SQ or Cathay. SQ has offers for 2-to-go (2 pax at SGD 3,548.00 incl taxes) with no mileage accrual. Cathay recently had some promotions for self-drive and free-n-easy, but I can't remember their prices now. Had I known earlier, I would have invited you to join me for my autumn trip next month.

Right now NWA $959 excluding taxes and surcharge..

I'm going on 16th. Alone. So I dont get the enjoy 2-to-go promotion. Checked with my travel agent friend, cheapest is China Airlines. Luckily I'm going alone, cos coming back mostly are full!!!

Plus tax total is $1337...

I have been there. In fact, I spent five years there. Did my college and university studies there. It is a fantastic place. Take a ferry to Victoria whilst you are there.It is another good place to visit.If time permits, take a bus to Seattle too. :thumbsup:

what is the flight time to Vancouver by China Airlines? and what about the departure and arrival times? I checked the nwa timing, all very odd timing, departing at 6-7am, then arrive at around midnight in sg.

Err.. I forgotten the timing cos the slip's with my friend. I think if I remember correctly, reach SG about late afternoon...

been there... the time should be -15 hours our time.. cant ask for a better weather and place to breathe fresh air. take time off to go to the parks and granvole island which you can see the icy mountains (forgot how to spell :sweatsm: )

try to take Cathay.. you wont want to take a crappy airline to go such a faraway place.. im talking about more than 20 hrs of flight!

not a place to shop but defintely to chill out and great sightseeing. happy holiday!

Been to vancouver quite a few times and each time the weather have been nice except for one winter where they have a freak winter storm.
11" of snow i think..the whole city came to a standstill.

yeah, go up the mountains. Grouse, Whistler and Blackcomb.
and go walk the Capilano suspension bridge.. nice experience.

Don't forget the food. Vancouver has some of the best Chinese food in the world.

What is good, you may ask. It depends, but one word will always work - Salmon.
