"Landing" with PR
Hi all,
I am booking my flights but have a question. I am travelling with my 3 young children (husband to follow - (should I add him to goods to follow list ))
I intend landing in Vancouver and then getting a connecting flight to Kamloops. I am happy to leave 3 hours to "land"(is this long enough?) but do I need to exit and then check in with all my bags at Vancouver departures to be able to fly onto Kamloops? or is their an internal ie without exiting the security area.
I will have a pushchair, and 6yo and 8yo plus bags on a trolley -
Just trying to work out if I am making it more difficult?
Thanks for any advice?

3 hours might be OK or it might not. Personally I would allow longer.

Bains...just a heads up baggage and meals are not included theyre added extras just so that you know ...bags are paid for at checkin using the machine by checkin...food I think you need to order before you fly

Connections depend on your airline etc - we flew WestJet through ticketed, so we never saw our bags (three each checked) between handing them over at Gatwick & arriving at Kelowna.
