For the first time since 2020, WestJet is offering direct flights from Kelowna International Airport (YLW) to Las Vegas.
“WestJet is proud to add yet another transborder connection to our winter schedule, between Kelowna and Las Vegas, as we continue to provide guests across Canada with even more affordable and accessible opportunities to escape the cold and find the sun this winter,” said WestJet Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer John Weatherill.
