Going to the philippines from usa with a connection flight in YVR?
I got an email from Orbitz today saying their was a time change to my United Airlines flight going to Vancouver. My flight leaves Dec 17th and is supposed to arrive in manila on the 19th. Now I have a shorter connection time to get to my flight on Philippine Airlines for Manila. I checked out the YVR's website and it says I'll have to get my bags and recheck in. Is 1 hour and 36 minutes enough time to get my checked baggage, go through customs, and recheck them in at the Philippine Airlines check in counter? I normally wouldn't be worried about it, but the church changed my wedding date from monday to sunday. I'm sure the United Airlines flight won't be on time. I would appreciate any helpful information on those who has had international connection flights in YVR.

I would not worry about it. That's still a lot of time to connect. Tell the agent in kansas to tag your bags all the way to manila, United has a baggage interline agreement with philippine airlines and they should tag your bags all the way through manila. Tell the UA agent in YVR that you have a short connection so maybe they can cut you off the line. After Clearing immigration and customs in YVR, like the usa, there should be a transfer belt you just put you bags to go on to the next flight or transfer desk you could re-check. Good luck and Congratulations!
