For others who wonder about extra fares, etc:
The Canada Line is a regular part of the Translink system. The fare system is the same on the Canada Line as it is on the buses, Skytrain, Seabus, etc. Your cash fares are the same, and your U-Passes will work. The only thing that will change is the YVR fare that is going to be enacted next year. Everyone travelling to the airport will have to pay $2.50 extra to get there.

^ Does that apply only to YVR station, or also the other 2? If you can save $2.50 by taking a 10-minute walk..

all about the cash money Quote:
TransLink revealed Friday that passengers taking the Canada Line between downtown Vancouver and the Vancouver International Airport will get a reduced fare during the first four months of operation.
Spokesman Drew Snider said those passengers will be able to use their regular TransLink passes to use the service - which will commence in late August.
"TransLink and ProTrans (the concessionaire operating the Canada Line) have agreed to defer implementation of the Canada Line-YVR Add Fare until 2010," Snider said.
"Customers will have the opportunity to ride this impressive stretch of elevated track, with views of the mountains to the north and the Gulf Islands to the west, for the price of a regular ticket."
TransLink had previously stated it would offer free rides on day one and after that it would cost $6.25 to take the Canada Line -A $2.50 premium on top of the two-zone, $3.75 trip between Richmond and Vancouver.
The premium will be now implemented on Jan. 1, 2010.
The $2-billion Canada Line is B.C's largest transportation project. The exact opening date has not been revealed.

What if you have a 3 zone pass? Or a Upass (that covers all zones).
3 zone pass will still have to add $2.50 to go on any part of the Canada Line in 2010?

If you park at the long-term lot at Sea Island station, you will not need to pay anything to get to the terminal.
I've been reading some complaints on various forums about $6.25 being too expensive. Let's keep this in perspective:
- It costs 100 HKD to ride the Airport Express into Hong Station.
- It costs 4 pounds to ride the tube from Heathrow to Central London (on a train that is old, has no A/C, and has little room for luggage.)
- It costs 8.20 EUR to ride the express train from Charles de Gaulle into Gare du Nord in Paris.

However, your best bet would be to check Translink's website and look under service alerts. Also, check out Twitter and search for "canadaline". People have been tweeting about their experiences and impressions of the line.
The ride itself from the Airport to downtown takes about 25 minutes. However, your girlfriend should factor another 5-10 minutes for waiting time. Remember, only every second train heads to the Airport so during midday, there will be a train every 8 minutes.
