Flight from Vancouver to LA

We are booked on RCCL Mexican Riviera cruise in July, including air
travel. I'm trying to find out when we might fly out of Vancouver -
RCCL says we'll find out 60 days before cruise.

Is there a "standard" flight from Vancouver to LA that RCCL uses?

I think you might just look forward to a bus ride
to Seattle's airport.

I can't say what RCCL uses, but there are lots of flights from
Vancouver to LA.

We are flying out of Vancouver, not Seattle. I was hoping for a real
answer...

I'm well aware of that. I was hoping someone who knows would answer
my question - maybe someone who has had air travel arranged through
RCCL from Vancouver to LA...

If you don't know, feel free to ignore my question. It's not necessary
to tell me that you don't know.

Hi Joanne,

No one on r.t.cruises can give you an answer because there is no
"standard" flight. Royal Caribbean uses various flights from
Vancouver. Be aware, as John mentioned, they sometimes bus you to
Seattle's airport.

Best regards,
Ray

Thank you Ray. You answered my question.

Did RCCL specifically say that you were going to fly out of Vancouver,
or are you just assuming that?

I think that what John is saying is that RCCL might put you on a bus
from Vancouver to Seattle, then a plane from Seattle to LA. That's
probably less expensive for them - it would have been less expensive
for me the last time I checked. I didn't do it because my time is
worth something to me, but your time probably isn't worth much to
RCCL.

I requested air from Vancouver to LA. My confirmation invoice shows
the departure airport as Vancouver Intl (YVR). But just to be really,
really, sure I phoned RCI and asked the reservation clerk. She had no
idea what I was talking about, and referred me to the Custom Air
Department. He had never heard of such a thing either, and said if I
have requested air from Vancouver, we will be flying out of Vancouver.
Both clerks seemed to think I was crazy for even asking if there was a
chance that we would be bussed from Vancouver to Seattle!

So now I'm wondering if that has ever really happened to anyone. Call
me naive, but it seems ridiculous that we would have to take a 4-hour
bus ride from Vancouver to Seattle. When I booked our cruise, I
compared airfare from Seattle to LA and from Vancouver to LA. It cost
us more to fly out of Vancouver, but it's much more convenient.

I would love to hear from someone who has actually had to do that.

There are many flights from Vancouver to southern California. That said
I gather since you said RCCL and they depart Los Angeles on Sunday's
that would mean either Air Canada or Alaska Air and expect to leave
between 6:00 AM and 10:00 AM. Now be warned that any flight that
requires a transfer in SFO should be avoided as "Flow Control" has been
a regular thing out of Vancouver and Seattle for months now for flights
headed to SFO. Last time in January it was upwards of 3 hours ( 2 hours
in Vancouver and another hour in SFO) Almost anyone in the airline
industry here will tell you to avoid SFO at all cost if you want to be
on time.

Now note this is a Mexican Riviera Cruise NOT an Alaska Cruise. I have
never seen a bus used for Mexican Riviera cruises. I have flown to
southern California for cruises and never been bused to Seattle for a
cruise. That only happens for Alaska Cruises.
