Holiday tips from Vancouver Int'l Airport

Vancouver International Airport is having fun with travel tips this holiday season.

First, Scuba Claus stopped by to visit the fish in the airport’s aquarium.

Soak up the season! Scuba Clause from @vanaqua is here to feed the fishies. If you are post-security in the International Departures terminal, make sure you pop by and say hello 👋 pic.twitter.com/ksCRbI9NGw

Then Vancouver International Airport (YVR) shared travel tips inspired by the classic holiday movie “Home Alone.”

Here’s part of the thread.

For the two or three people not familiar with the plot, the film follows the McAllister family, who are going on vacation to Paris. Due to a series of unfortunate events, one of the children gets left HOME ALONE and hijinx ensue. pic.twitter.com/fGTs1FngXd

Point being, if you have an early-morning flight, have some fail safes in place to make sure you get up in a timely manner and ensure you have enough time to get to the airport! Because leaving plenty of time to get to the airport is the next tip as anything can happen…

They also appear to have transportation booked! The Airport Express shuttles are there waiting. Again, this is good hustle by the McAllisters. YVR doesn’t have shuttles to the airport (local hotels do offer free shuttle service to/from), but it is incredibly smart to have a plan. pic.twitter.com/ws5hUjQWxv

Some things go horribly wrong at this point as the nosy neighbour kid starts poking around. He annoyed the driver enough that the driver tells him to scram twice. This is the correct approach. If you are assembling for a large vacation abroad, avoid distractions. All of them. pic.twitter.com/uGawb63L5W
