Travel Tips
Book in Advance**: Whether you're flying, taking a train, or using a bus service, booking your tickets in advance can save you money and ensure availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
Check Flight Options**: If you choose to fly, consider connecting flights as direct options may be limited. Look for flights from Victoria International Airport (YYJ) to Eugene Airport (EUG) with layovers in larger cities for more choices.
Timing is Key**: Allow plenty of time for border crossings if you're traveling by bus or car. The ferry from Victoria to the mainland can add extra time, and customs processing may take longer than expected, especially during busy travel periods.
Luggage Restrictions**: Review luggage policies for your chosen mode of transport. Airlines often have strict size and weight limits, while trains and buses might have more lenient rules. Pack accordingly to avoid extra fees.
Travel Documents**: Ensure you have all necessary documents for crossing the Canadian-U.S. border, including a valid passport. Check for any entry requirements or restrictions that may be in place prior to your journey.
