What is the city code for Vancouver?

  1. YVR

  2. YYJ

  3. DEN

  4. DCA

The correct answer is: YVR

The city code for Vancouver is indeed YVR. This code is derived from the first letter of "Vancouver" followed by the first letter of the province, British Columbia (BC), and the letter representing the Canadian airport. YVR is the International Air Transport Association (IATA) code specifically designated for Vancouver International Airport, which is the primary airport serving the city. The other codes pertain to different locations; for example, YYJ is the IATA code for Victoria, British Columbia, while DEN represents Denver International Airport in Colorado and DCA stands for Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, D.C. Therefore, YVR is clearly the correct choice as it specifically identifies the airport in Vancouver.
