Vancouver and victoria's Friendly Airport Student Transportation Service!

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU ARE RETURNING HOME

Call Beaton's hotline to book your return trip to the airport. Late requests may be impossible for us to accommodate but we will do our best to help. When calling, leave the pickup time to us as we always want ensure that you have plenty of time to depart and we take other circumstances into account such at traffic, road construction, etc.

Beaton's is a safe and comfortable way to travel back to the airport. Our rates are very reasonable, our drivers pleasant and helpful all the way to the airport. We will escort you into the airport as well 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 at 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 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 airport once a rebooking is made. 0ur 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 or your school/homestay company has given us.

Please see our Luggage Restriction Guidelines for information on how luggage is handled at the airport and by our drivers. Please be aware that weight limits and regulations on number of bags, etc. change from 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!

Believe it or not, 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. Some students have spent more time in the shopping area than they expected and missed their flight. The Internet can be addictive and students have missed their flight. If this happens, the student is responsible for his travel back to the homestay or hotel and return trip to airport once a rebooking is made. The consequences of missing flights due to one's negligence in following directions can be extreme. 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 will be very disappointed when you don't show up on time in your home country - they may have had to travel a long way to get you.
