Travel Advice To Vancouver

[Batfink]

Hi everyone.

 

I'm a long time lurker on these forums and I've finally decided to take the plunge and get a transplant done with Dr Hasson in Vancouver.

 

I'm based in the UK, and cost is an issue, so I'm looking for recommendations for reasonably priced flights - ideally direct from anywhere in the UK to Vancouver.

 

I'm also looking for recommendations for cheap accommodation. I know Hasson & Wong provide two nights at the Sheraton but I may need to stay longer.

 

Any other travel tips would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

I used www.orbitz.com

 

I checked out Orbitz and found a flight from Manchester, UK to Vancouver for $556.

 

You can also include a search for "Flight + Hotel" to find a deal.

 

I know Hasson and Wong give you a Flight Allowance.

 

I would just ask if they can give you a Hotel Allowance and then just stay in the hotel of your choice.

Be careful - they mainly speak English in Vancouver and have a strange sometimes odd accent - ordering a Pint of Ale may just get you a Quart of Oil.

 

Of course, I guess Scotland is worse. No matter what you order you get Scotch.

 

But I see nothing wrong in that.
