Airports
The nearest international airport is Victoria International Airport (YYJ), located 30 km north of downtown Victoria.
For visitors from Europe we suggest a routing via Vancouver (YVR). There are hourly flights between Vancouver and Victoria. Calgary (YYC) is the next best option. Avoid routings via Montreal or Toronto, as they add significantly to the travel time.
From the US side, Seattle is a hub with regular flight connections to Victoria, but there will be the additional complication of having to clear US Customs and immigration, which may increase connection times.
