Flights from Sydney to Vancouver Intl: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Sydney to Vancouver Intl 
AndrewFlew with Air Canada-Nov 2024
I wish I had known that I would have to go thru customs in Vancouver even though I was scheduled from Australia thru Canada (Vancouver thru Montreal) and on to USA. We did not leave the airport in Canada because there was not enough time between flights. Our checked baggage did not have to go thru customs in Canada...only us. If I had known of this great inconvenience I would have booked a flight direct to USA.
Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-Jan 2024
Be prepared for the long haul flight. Try to book your tickets early and choose no more than 1 stop flight. I had 2 stop flight and it drained me out.

Check your connecting flight and make sure the process to get there and what do do with your luggage is explained to you.
