I’ve been asked to review a parking space so I thought I would make this the best review of a parking space. Access - the access was great with multiple ways to enter not only the parking lot but the parking space itself. You could drive in straight, back in, drive in from the opposite side of the space, approach from the left, or even the right. Great selection here for those who want to make their parking experience a little more exciting. Amenities - I was surprised to find separated waste disposal including recycling available at multiple locations throughout the parking area. Great job. Yay for the environment! Capacity - I was here on the Monday of the august long weekend after a pandemic in 2021. Suffice to say it was insanely busy. And guess what? They had ample parking left! Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Perfect location for smaller airplanes and larger airplanes taxiing to 26L, or taxiing to/from the South Terminal, and the initial take off roll: the Air France picture. Too bad the rotation isn't visible for larger aircraft further down the runway. I wasn't able to experience the landings as I was only there for one day. Not a good spot for 26R arrivals as I was hoping, even with a 600mm I wasn't able to get good shots (there was also a lot of haze that day). The British Airways picture. Food and washrooms are available inside the terminal building just behind the viewing platform. There are also boards on the platform showing information on the common aircraft and the history of the airport.

Came upon this place after dropping someone off at YVR ITS A NEAT PLACE WITH 2 STATIONARYY SCOPES SET UP. ONE FOR ADULTS AND ONE WITH STEPS OR KIDS OR SHORT PEOPLE. YOU ARE DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE MAIN TERMINAL. THERE YOU CAN ARK FOR FREE AND SIT DOWN AN ONE OF THE VIEWING BENCHES AND WATCH AND LISTEN TO THE PLANES TAKING OFF AND COMING IN. NEST PLACE FOR ANYONE TO CHECK OUT, YOUNG OR OLD OR INBETEEEN.

Very small rugged terminal clean and cozy with a small restaurant with limited options. They sell Nanaimo bars!!! Also has a small souvenir shop with some travel essentials. Small airplanes arrive and depart from here I had a wonderful experience. I flew from Vancouver to Bella Coola on Pacific Coastal was an amazing flight. I love South terminal!

Love the south terminal, so much more relaxed than the big YVR airport... everyone from the staff to the travelers are calmer and happier. When landing, if you need transportation home and want to use Uber, do so right away as you will need to "call" one and wait for it as they do not usually sit at the airport like the cabs do.
