What to Expect When You Leave Vancouver
 

You may call the Beaton's hotline at any time to book your return trip to the airport. Please give us 48 hours notice. Late requests may be impossible for us to accommodate. Please leave the pick-up time determination to our service as we always want to ensure that you have plenty of time to depart, and we take other circumstances into account, such as traffic.

Beaton's is a safe and comfortable way to travel back to the airport. Our rates are very reasonable, our drivers are pleasant and helpful and we will escort you into the airport if you are nervous about finding your departure  line. In the case of students in youth programmes, we will take you right up to the check-in counter or connect you with an airline agent in the departure area. For unaccompanied minors, we stay with you right up until your flight leaves. Our service will be advised by the school or homestay agency you contracted us with as to whether you are in a youth programme or are an unaccompanied  minor; but do not hesitate to ask for assistance if you would feel more comfortable with our representative guiding you as you depart.

It is highly recommended that all students confirm their flights with the airline 3 days prior to travel. Our service is not responsible for missed, cancelled or delayed flights once we get to the airport. The student will be responsible for his/her trip back to the homestay or hotel and return trip to the airport once a rebooking is made. Our standard transportation rates will apply. Our drivers may ask to see your flight information before leaving your homestay or hotel. We make every effort to ensure that you are at the airport in plenty of time for your flight based on the departure information that you, your school or homestay company has given us.

Please see our Luggage Restrictions for information on how luggage is handled at the airport and by our drivers. Please be aware of the weight limits and regulations on number of bags, etc. These guidelines change rom time to time and from airline to airline. For the latest information on your airline's luggage restrictions, please see your airline representative. Our drivers are there to assist you in all aspects of your departure, but may not be able to lift luggage that is very heavy (see our Luggage Restriction guidelines). If you cannot lift your luggage, likely no one else should be doing this either--so be prepared to help move your luggage into the airport.

WARNING!
It has been known to happen that students will put their headphones on in the airline's boarding area and not hear the last call for their flight, or spend too much time in the shopping area and miss their flight. Please beware that the student is responsible for his/her travel back to the homestay or hotel and return trip to the airport in cases of missed flights due to these or other distractions. At certain times of the year, seats on most airlines cannot be booked at the last minute; some airlines will require you to pay for another ticket at full price. Your family and friends, as well, may be disappointed if you do not show up when you are expected. Please ensure that you take all measures possible to avoid missing your flight.
