Leaving from Adelaide Airport (ADL)
Domestic and international flights share one terminal at Adelaide, so families positioning to Melbourne or Sydney for a non-stop start in the same building — but book the domestic leg on the same ticket (or allow 3 h+) because the gateway transfer is the risky part.
Arriving at Vancouver International Airport (YVR)
- One compact terminal; if you're connecting to a domestic Canadian flight, you clear immigration and customs in Vancouver and re-drop your bags.
- The Canada Line SkyTrain reaches downtown Vancouver (Waterfront) in about 25 minutes; Whistler coaches leave from the airport in ski season.
- Entry: Australians flying to (or through) Canada need an eTA — CAD 7, apply only on the official Government of Canada site: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/eta.html
Official entry requirements for Australian passport holders. Check before you travel; rules change.
