COVID-19 Travel Requirements
Covid 19 travel requirements are constantly changing and may vary depending on your point of origin. Please contact Rockland if you need help understanding travel requirements. Please discuss covid precautions with a Rockland staff member before visiting our office.
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.
