We have streamlined connections to and from our trans-Pacific hub at YVR to provide customers with convenient travel options to see this vibrant city renowned for its history, gastronomy, and culture, as well as to conduct international business dealings.” Bangkok is also one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, and we have optimized connectivity to and from our transpacific hub at YVR.” This new service from YVR is another step in the right way toward reaching our aim of making YVR one of the most important trans-Pacific ports in North America. We eagerly anticipate the arrival of new and returning clients.
