Vancouver - February 2010 / Winter Olympics

Hi,

We've just been given a trip to the Winter Olympics...something to look forward to!!!

There are additional special restrictions for GA - mainly having to stop at a Customs/Immigration gateway prior to arriving at Vancouver. These gateways are :
1/ Calgary International Airport (YYC)
2/ Kelowna International Airport (YWL)
3/ Abbotsford International Airport (YXX)
4/ Victoria International Airport (YYJ)

Anybody have any suggestions as to the best / worst one to use - and maybe to finish the journey at??

Thank you - and Merry Yuletide.

Ho, Ho, Ho!!!!!

I'd say Abbotsford would be the easiest.

Nice terminal, all services, and a very quiet airport just on the outskirts of Vancouver.
Depending which direction your arriving from, Calgary is a major airport and busy, Kelowna is in the middle of nowhere, Victoria very scenic with the water crossing.

Abbotsford would be the easiest, uncomplicated arrival.
