What matters on the Seattle Pier 91 to YVR Airport route
This quote is built around the actual pickup, arrival deadline, passengers, luggage, and border exposure - not a generic city-to-city estimate.
Pickup
Start with the real pickup window
Share the ship, expected disembarkation window, passenger count, and luggage. Dispatch confirms the meeting instructions for Pier 91's ground transportation area.
On the way
Review the border route
The northbound route starts from Smith Cove rather than downtown Pier 66, then accounts for I-5, Canadian inspection, Highway 99, and Richmond access.
Arrival
Protect the arrival deadline
Provide the YVR airline, flight number, departure time, and flight type. Dispatch works backward from the appropriate airport check-in deadline.
Compare the whole trip
Why this trip needs more than a ride request
A cross-border booking has to hold together from pickup to border to arrival. Compare the details that affect whether the trip remains workable when timing changes.
