Busy days ahead for YLW

The Kelowna Airport is expected to be busier than ever this holiday season, with YLW expecting more than 100,000 guests to move through their doors over the next two weeks.

Beginning this weekend, and during the busiest travel days of the year (Dec. 21, 22, 28, 29 and Jan. 4, 5) the airport anticipates over 7,500 people flying in and out of Kelowna.

The airport has 2,600 parking stalls, but they expect to reach full capacity during this time and suggest drivers consider alternative ways to get to the airport such as taxi and limousine services, airport shuttles, transit, or friends and family.

The terminal building opens at 3:30 a.m. with check-in counters, pre-board screening and food services available at 4 a.m.

Passengers are reminded to arrive at the airport with plenty of time to spare and its recommended to check-in and drop off baggage for domestic flights at least 90 minutes before boarding time, and at least two hours for flights to the US and Mexico.
