Kelowna

With one short connection, flying from Kelowna International Airport to Europe is easy and convenient - and YLW wants to show just how easy it is. 

On Saturday, March 3, between 12 and 4 p.m., Air Canada and Lufthansa airlines, travel agencies and tour operators who promote European travel destinations and experiences will have information booths on display in the airport terminal.

Learn about flight specials, Mediterranean cruises, accommodation options and exchanging currency into Pounds and Euros. Slide presentations will also be held in the Airport boardroom.

If that’s not enough reason to attend, YLW and Air Canada will give away a flight for two to London England and other door prizes including a $500 travel voucher with Transat Holidays.

Attend the event and purchase a ballot to enter the draws: 1 for $5, 3 for $10 and 6 for $20. The draw for the prizes will be made at the end of the event at 4 p.m. on March 3.

All proceeds will be donated to Hope Air.

Since 1986, Hope Air has arranged free flights for financially disadvantaged Canadians to receive the healthcare they need.

Kelowna is the No. 1 departure route for Hope Air in all of Canada – it arranged 780 flights through Kelowna International Airport last year.

Parking in the long-term lot is free for the European destinations event. To qualify for free parking, parking vouchers must be validated at the event.
