Horrible traffic flow and wait times. If you must fly out of Vancouver, give yourself at least 3 hours to get through security.
Domestic flight security is very cramped, as though it hasnt been updated (since latest regulations now require most people to use 2-5 security bins).
International security lines stretch hundreds of feet into a bottleneck at which a single person asks 'how many are in your party?' and directs you to one of many security lanes that has been empty for about a full minute. They have Wait Time boards that are manipulated by staff running through the line with a mobile scanner. I saw many people miss their flights because of the complete inefficiency of security.
There is no place comfortable within the airport (outside of security) for someone with an extremely long layover to rest. This airport is beautiful but flying out of it is a stressful experience.
