Busy long weekend for YVR airport

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 04 Aug, 2023 09:49 AM
  • Busy long weekend for YVR airport

The Vancouver International Airport says it’s gearing up for a busy long weekend by launching a new tool to help travellers get to their gate on time.

A new Q-R code called Y-V-R TimeLine allows travellers to check if they are at risk of missing their plane by entering their flight number.

Y-V-R says if the system identifies someone might miss their flight, they will be fast-tracked through security. 

It's anticipated more than 318-thousand passengers will fly into and out of the airport from today until Monday.
