Flying is the quickest and most convenient way to get to Vancouver Island. Several airlines service Victoria International Airport, Nanaimo Airport and the cities/towns of Courtenay/Comox, Campbell River and Port Hardy.
Floatplanes are a popular mode of transportation between Vancouver Island and the mainland, largely due to their flexibility - you can access just about any coastal community directly with a floatplane. Scheduled flights and charters are available from downtown Vancouver to downtown Victoria and downtown Nanaimo.
