2 hour layover in Vancouver

[Fitter Happier]

I have a trip planned and will have a 5 hour layover in Vancouver. I'm making the assumption that it'll take me 1 hour to clear immigration and customs at YVR and be on the platform for the SkyTrain. I'm also assuming that I'll need to be back at the airport 2(?) hours before my domestic flight.

Where are some Asian/Korean incalls that are along the SkyTrain lines? I've been searching the reviews and no idea what "PH" or "Joyce" means, but I can search LL for digits. I thought about calling the ads in LL but I don't know how open they'll be about telling me just their general location. I'm pretty sure that by my limited time I can't make it out to Metrotown/Burnaby.

Help and thanks!

Although my knowledge of Asian micros is non-existent, it is best to go to Richmond. There are plenty of them along No 3 Rd and Westminster Hwy and Richmond Centre area. Almost all of them are within 10 min by cab. ( I am not sure about skytrain routes in that area though). I am sure there are some in Vancouver too, which are just across the bridge, but I am not sure if skytrain goes there.

I am sure you will get plenty of recommendations soon, and pretty much all of them would be about micros in Richmond area.

Good Luck

ps: I have no idea what PH is, but Joyce is a skytrain station near Van/Bby border. Also try clicking on here:

PH is the Amp Penthouse in Richmond on Leo's List with last four digits 9116.

Thank you for clarifying that PM (poonman).

PH is a micro, not an AMP. In terms of quality it's probably the only place that's within distance of you. But I don't know if that's enough time if you're only taking public transit and plus if there's a long wait there you might be a bit short on time.

Also it depends on when your layover is, as they may not be opened yet.

This is more expensive but based on your timing, if you want something that is more likely to happen you can pre-book a room at the hotel at YVR and also pre-book an outcall from a high-end place like carman fox. Getting out of the airport, commuting to an uncertain micro and then coming back is risky (if you care about not missing your flight).

It would be helpful to know what time you land. If it's between 10:30am and 8:30pm, it won't be a problem. But I regularly go thru a five hour layoff at YVR and I'm certain you have lots of time. You no longer pick up your luggage...it is moved directly to next flight. So you don't have to worry about lugging around a big suitcase. Saves you time and convience.
My advice is grab a cab and head to Richmond. You can research a location here and even call to set up an appointment. Whether it's swan lake, Atlantis, Holiday, etc....there is plenty to choose from.

Well I am only 14 min taxi ride from the Airport. You can have a shower and hot tub soak to relax your sore bones from the flight if you are interested. Depending on the time and day there may be other options for who to see.
