What LAS to YVR looks like
The LAS to YVR sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Las Vegas LAS to Vancouver YVR is a medium haul sector of 1,597 km by great circle, flown nonstop 3.4 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,597 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 32m.
Las Vegas LAS is a major hub in the network held here, 212 scheduled destinations and 642 departures a day. Vancouver YVR has 125 destinations and 409.9 departures a day.
Vancouver runs one hour ahead of Las Vegas in January and no time shift at all in July, because the two ends do not change their clocks together.
The pair sits inside the Americas, a corridor where the site already publishes 13 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on LAS to YVR from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| LAS to YVR | 3.43 | 24 | Air Canada, Delta Air Lines, NetJets Aviation, WestJet |
| YVR to LAS | 3.14 | 22 | Air Canada, WestJet |
4 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 3.4 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 46 departures a week on LAS to YVR, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 2h 32m block time on LAS to YVR. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to LAS | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At LAS before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| LAS to YVR in the air, estimated | 152 min | 7h 02m |
| Formalities at YVR | 90 min | 8h 32m |
| Delivery run in Vancouver | 45 min | 9h 17m |
| Door to door | 557 min | 9h 17m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for LAS to YVR is 9h 17m.
A courier who leaves Las Vegas at 09:00 local is on the ground in Vancouver at about 12:32 local and at the door by 14:47 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Vancouver, the last useful departure from Las Vegas is around 12:13 local.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 43 of them join LAS to YVR.
| Connecting at | LAS to hub, flights a day | Hub to YVR, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seattle SEA | 17.29 | 19.71 | 1,600 | 4h 20m |
| Portland PDX | 9.43 | 5.86 | 1,631 | 4h 25m |
| Salt Lake City SLC | 11 | 3.43 | 1,874 | 4h 45m |
| San Francisco SFO | 21.71 | 10.43 | 1,954 | 4h 53m |
| Los Angeles LAX | 28.86 | 9.43 | 2,121 | 5h 17m |
| San Diego SAN | 20.71 | 3.86 | 2,313 | 5h 17m |
With 3.4 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
43 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Seattle SEA, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 17.3 times a day.
Through SEA the routing covers 1,600 km against the 1,597 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 20m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 75 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 48m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Portland PDX at 4h 25m and Salt Lake City SLC at 4h 45m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Vancouver, Victoria YYJ is 63 km away by great circle and carries 22 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for LAS to YVR in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
