Clearing customs in Vancouver

This year golfers are departing on Singapore Airlines from three different cities. The cities are LA, San Francisco, and Vancouver. Those departing from Vancouver will not clear customs in Canada only in Singapore. The ones leaving from LA will clear customs in Calgary for the US and again in Singapore. San Francisco departures will clear US customs in Vancouver and Singapore.

Those departing via San Francisco will have your bags checked right though to Singapore but you will have to clear US customs in Vancouver with them. You will be given boarding passed for the two flights to San Francisco. Even though I have said this, please check and make sure when you are departing. In Vancouver you will make your way to the International USA section of the airport. Your bags will come up in the customs area on the carousel. Take them to the customs officer. Once cleared place your bags on the transfer belt. You will then see them in Singapore. Proceed to boarding gate.

Our golfers are from the following locations; one from Sarnia,two from Winnipeg, four from Sherwood Park, eight from Edmonton, two from Fort Assinaboine, two from Brooks, 17 from Calgary, and two from Radium.

Nine golfers leave via Vancouver, 15 via San Francisco, and 14 via LA. Leaving via Vancouver is more expensive as Singapore Air has fewer flights from there and they fill up quickly. Vancouver flights were full around the second week of September.
