Has anyone gone through the Nexus security line at the YVR airport lately? With the security staffing shortages and long waits, is the Nexus line still fast? (We also have to arrive at 5:30 am.)

It ranged from no time to wait, to 20 minutes

For domestic seems to be hit or miss if the nexus line is open. Even if it is usually it’s just a skip the majority of the line.

Sharonbeth if it’s not open at domestic just let the staff know at entrance that you are a nexus cardholder & they should let you into a line to scoot to the front.

I flew in February and last November, the nexus line may seem like it’s not open. I just went to ask the personnel scanning in peoples ticket, and he opened a different line for me to access. The regular line was super long.

Went through the Nexus line at YVR on Monday and it was quick, no delays.

Last Sunday, 630am, domestic B gates: Regular line very long, Nexus line 3 minutes.

To US last week and in Jan and Feb took 5-10 minutes each time

Twice in the last month. One hell of a lot shorter than the other line

This group is amazing! Nice to know about Nexus being quick (that card is GOLD!)

Just went through nexus line up this past weekend and was super fast! 5 min departing and arriving back and going through customs

It’s the passengers who are not prepared, they don’t have themselves or their bags ready for the belt. And their bags are filled with crap that needs to be searched. I agree there are not enough catsa and lanes open. But place the blame where it belongs , FOTSG

Used it 2x recently. Open and almost to the front of the line

The last two times I went I found the nexus line was slower than the regular line. But I think it depends on the day and the time

I used it on Sunday at 2:30. Show the card to first attendant who looks at your boarding pass. They will direct you there. I was the first while there were maybe 10 people in the other lineup. Everything was fast for me overall.

Yes much faster than reg line

Hi - we went through the Nexus line 10 days ago when arriving home from the UK. It was fast and easy. I was also randomly selected for a Covid test. This also was done quickly and I was less than 5 minutes behind my husband who was not selected.

Can't The say the same for departure but Int'l Arrival Nexus lanes at YVR are wide open. Bypassed hundreds of ppl coming back from Japan.

Matt holy, I didn’t even realize there was nexus line for arrivals.

Kathy Veer hard right at the bottom of the escalators!

I flew out this past Monday morning, 0915hrs flight time. I have never seen a nexus lineup that long, around 100ppl if you include those inside the screening room. I waited ~ 30 minutes before reaching the X-ray.

We just flew out of yvr this morning, arriving at 5:15am, and we were the only ones at the C gate security area. From the skytrain to the other side of security in about 7 mins. The A/B gates security was a bit busier but still pretty quiet.
