ALASKA CRUISE: Vancouver (Canada Place)to Seatac (seattle) : Speediest way to transit?
Thank you for previous advice (Jean , Don and Lynn) on comparison of
Princess and HAl - it reassured me to the point whereby we are booked on Coral Princess on Southbound Trip ex Whittier to Vancouver arriving 07:00Hrs Sep 24th....... HOWEVER .... I realised AFTER making all of my bookings that we have a VERY tight transfer on arriving back to Vancouver BC - I had thought that our flight home ex Seatac (Seattle) was in the evening but I have since discovered it is at 13:00Hrs - I believe that the Coral Princess docks at 07:00Hrs and I have heard that it would be 08:00Hrs before I will have disembarked - I am looking at hiring a car at the ferry terminal and driving to Seatac - assuming no interruptions 9what delays should i expect at the border?) it should get me there around 11:00Hrs for the 13:00Hrs flight... I checked flights ex Vancouver to Seatac but unfortunately none line up with our connection needs (allowing for check in time etc) .., I know that there are shuttle services but i doubt that any will make my connection. Do the ferries generally come in earlier than 7 possibly giving me more time to transit? All advice welcome regards - Anxious ! .. eamon |

ALASKA CRUISE: Vancouver (Canada Place)to Seatac (seattle) : Speediest way to transit?
Hi Eamon,
Could you change your flight to the 25th? Vancouver and Seattle are both great cities to visit. My daughter is always telling us to spend more time at the destination to get our monies worth out of the airline tickets. You traveled a long way from Cork. You should stay as long as you can. If you spend any time in Seattle, try to visit the Pike St market. We hope you have a great trip, Don wrote in message ups.com...

All advice welcome regards - Anxious ! .. eamon Hi there As other have said a 1pm flight is too early and will NOT make it. We had a 3:30pm flight out of SEA a few years back on the and the Princess cruiseline shuttle did not get to the airport until about 2:00pm. I would look in to changing to a later flight or a flight on another day, even if it means paying the airline a fee. Michael |

ups.com... All advice welcome regards - Anxious ! .. eamon Ferries have nothing to do with your plan, so forghet them. The advice of others should be heeded: you cannot be sure of making that flight from SEA. Re-book quickly! As for booking out of YVR instead, while I am happy to be a Vancouver booster, I must warn you that some airfares out of Vancouver can be quite a bit higher than out of SEA to0 the same destination. OTOH, you might want to figure out extra costs for hotels, car rentals, etc. |

All advice welcome regards - Anxious ! .. eamon Eamon, Sorry, but having done this myself, I seriously doubt that you will be able to make that 1 pm flight...Even though your ship docks at 7:00 am, the probability that you will get off by 8 am is remote...more like 8:30-9 the soonest. That would make it very stressful for you. If at all possible, change your flight to a later time or enjoy a day in beautiful Seattle and fly out the following day. Good Luck and let us know how you make out. --Jean |

The Canadian dollar is gaining on the US dollar and to give you some idea of border lineups on Friday it was 4.5 hours. The closer the CDN dollar gets to the US dollar the longer the lineups.
