Vancouvers airport is for sure a marvelous place. THE best in Canada. I love to spend the hours before flights in Vancouvers lounge and watch the departing and landing airplanes with snow capped mountains in the background.
Vancouver International Airport is home to two satellite Vancouver Aquarium Marine Exhibits – a 114,000-litre main aquarium and a smaller 1,800-litre jellyfish aquarium – that house a rich collection of marine life native to British Columbia. I tried to take a photo of the larger mammals, such as an Orca who was cruising through the water, but did not succeed.
Even some of the carpets are artworks – with a pattern that echoes a log jam on the nearby Fraser River, mirrored by the seemingly haphazard arrangement of the linear light fixtures illuminating the building.
One of the art pieces in the departure area
Vancouver YVR airport is unique in displaying art and might displays the highest number of art pieces worldwide.
Throughout Vancouver’s terminals, artwork is both prominently, but also subtly displayed – everything from huge totems to animal carvings to schools of fish swimming in the building’s rafters.

As travelers clear security for Vancouver’s A and B domestic gates, The Rivers Monument by Marianne Nicolson bids a dramatic farewell from Vancouver, its glass-etched poles representing the Columbia and Fraser Rivers.
When people come to Canadas Westcoast, they arrive in Vancouver YVR and they are first welcomed by the Musqueum people.
The art exhibits at YVR airport is not there for decoration. These are timeless pieces with meaning and tell a story.
On the way from the metro train to the departure buildings
YVR reclaims the top spot as the Best Airport in North America according to the annual airport customer satisfaction survey, covering more than 550 airports.
The Award follows advancements in operations, accessibility, and the traveler experience.
