While most flights are now running on time at Vancouver International Airport, a number of them have been delayed, and a few cancelled.

The update comes after the airport alerted passengers to give themselves plenty of time to get to the airport, as well as check transit and flight times beforehand.

The airport also notes that fliers should check-in online and print their boarding passes before leaving for the airport. Alternatively, fliers can have it emailed to their handheld mobile device.

What’s more, a number of domestic flights flights, such as some to Victoria, Castlegar, Montreal, Nanaimo, Toronto, and Calgary, have been cancelled.

The Vancouver weather forecast calls for 15 – 25 cm of snowfall as a second low pressure system brings snow to the south coast.
