|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vancouver International Airport | YVR | 69 km (43 mi) | 11,500 ft | 14 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,500 ft, YVR can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 14 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
