Travellers flying out of Vancouver airport Monday are being urged to check their latest flight details before making the journey to catch their flight.

A number of flights have been delayed Monday, following a number of delays and cancellations on Sunday due to heavy snow across the region Sunday, with more expected to fall Monday evening and into Tuesday.

“Flight delays or cancellations occur for a variety of reasons, including managing departure times with our airline partners and NAV CANADA, weather elsewhere in the country, and even operations at other airports,” a spokesperson for YVR said in a statement.
