Which Airport Should I Fly to for Whistler?

Whistler doesn’t have a commercial airport of its own. So while you can’t fly direct to Whistler, you can fly to Vancouver International Airport, the closest airport to Whistler, and transfer to Whistler from there. Whether you are staying at a low-key bed and breakfast or a luxury mountain resort, most hotels will be happy to arrange a door-to-door airport transfer for you.

Which Airlines Fly to Whistler?

A large number of quality airlines fly to Vancouver International direct from London Heathrow in the UK, including American Airlines, Air Canada, British Airways and Lufthansa. If you are travelling from another UK airport, you may have to stop elsewhere en route. There are dozens of different flight options and stopovers to choose from, enabling you to cherry-pick the combination that best suits you and your travel plans in Whistler.

How to Find the Cheapest Whistler Flights

If you don’t mind a longer flight, book a Whistler flight with a single stop. It’s less convenient than flying direct, but if you’re on a budget it could save you a significant amount – which means more to spend on skiing and après-ski! It also helps to be flexible with dates and flight times; Whistler flights that depart early in the morning or late at night are often cheaper.

Flights to Vancouver International Airport

Vancouver International Airport is an award-winning airport located on Sea Island, a short drive from Downtown Vancouver. It is the second busiest airport in the country, with more than 20 million passengers and at least 300,000 flights every year. Vancouver International is a bright, modern airport with a wide range of restaurants, bars and shops. Flying into Vancouver International Airport is a treat thanks to its stunning location. Look out for views of the Salish Sea, snowcapped mountains and downtown Vancouver as you come in to land.

Driving to Whistler

Most visitors complete their journey to Whistler by car. A handful of car rental companies operate from Vancouver International’s terminal, and several more can be reached via a shuttle service. Whistler is about two hours away along the beautiful Highway 99, known as the Sea to Sky Highway. Spectacular mountain, ocean and city views await you along the route.

Other Ways to Reach Whistler

For a cheaper transfer, use the airport’s SkyLynx coach services, which leave for Whistler every day, all year round. Other transport options include arranging a door-to-door transfer with your hotel, or booking a private transfer. Alternatively, if you are feeling flash, you can reach Whistler in 30 minutes by helicopter or floatplane.

How to survive the flight to Whistler?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Whistler could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We’ve pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you’ll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Whistler?
The answer is — be prepared. We’ve put together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Whistler, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
