The Vancouver Sun reports in its Friday edition that travellers heading to catch a flight at Vancouver airport on Boxing Day, one of the busiest travel days of the year, encountered brutal traffic as shoppers headed to Richmond's McArthurGlen Designer Outlet near YVR. The Sun's Denise Ryan writes that drivers waiting up to 90 minutes to cross the Arthur Laing Bridge into Richmond may have wondered whether someone else's discounted hoodie was worth the price they paid in fuel and frustration. Traffic was at a virtual standstill for most of the day heading to the normally quiet outlet mall. The Canada Line, running on a Saturday schedule, was gorged with hopeful shoppers -- and more than a few annoyed travellers heading to YVR. Deep Boxing Day discounts on electronics in Vancouver stores are largely past history thanks to preholiday sales such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but outlet malls are having a moment. At McArthurGlen, the parking lot was full and there were long lineups at Nike, North Face, Ralph Lauren as well as the public washrooms. Despite the hype, the discounts were questionable. At Aritzia, its Super Puff short jacket was still full price for anyone who wanted the popular matte black or tan.
