WestJet will launch new daily non-stop service between Calgary (YYC) and Penticton with its inaugural flight to wine country on Sunday, October 26, 2014.
“We’re excited to be bringing our low fares and remarkable guest experience to the South Okanagan,” saysPaul Harvalias, WestJet Vice-President, Revenue Management. “With fares starting as low as $99 including taxes, fees and charges, we continue to liberate Canadians in smaller communities from the high cost of air travel.
“Whether it’s skiing and snowboarding through the champagne powder at Apex Mountain Resort in the winter or wakeboarding on Okanagan Lake in the summer, it truly is a community with year-round appeal and we’re pleased to be bringing visitors to the region to enjoy all it has to offer. And of course, having dozens of wineries within a short drive makes the ‘aprés’ activities even more relaxing.”
