Checking-In at South Terminal Airport

Guests should be at the Vancouver South Terminal one (1) hour before departure. (The South Terminal is a separate terminal from the main Vancouver Terminal.)

At check-in, guests are met at our counter (which will be marked with a WCFC sign) by our guest services representative and then board our charter flight to Masset in Haida Gwaii.

Flying time is approximately 2 hours. (Arrival in Masset is scheduled for 9:30 am for Clubhouse guests and 10:30 am for North Island and Outpost Guests). In Masset, guests will be grouped for transfer to our helicopters for a 20 minute flight to the lodge.

Heading Home

The departure schedule from the Lodge will be based on "first in/first out", that is the guests who flew into the lodge first on the arrival day will be the first to leave on departure day. Guests will fly out via our helicopters to Masset and then board our charter flight for the return to Vancouver.

The arrival times at the South Terminal in Vancouver are set for 2:00 pm for Clubhouse and 3:00 pm for North Island Lodge and Outpost.

We recommend that any connecting flights not be scheduled for at least two (2) hours for National flights and three (3) hours for International Flights after our scheduled arrival time.
