Cheap flights from Calgary to Vancouver from C$ 33

Travellers can rely on a large number of flight options that are available to transport them from the western city of Calgary, which is in the province of Alberta, to the west coast city of Vancouver in British Columbia. The primary airport in Calgary that services the route is Calgary International Airport (YYC). However, there are two large airports in Vancouver that accept flights originating in Calgary: Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and the nearby Abbotsford International Airport (YXX), which sits just to the southeast of Vancouver. Abbotsford International is a smaller and less busy airport than Vancouver International.

While there are a handful of airlines that provide flights from Calgary to Vancouver, there are a few airlines that provide the vast majority of flight options. In addition, these few airlines provide a broad range of non-stop flights that can get you from Calgary to Vancouver quickly. Specifically, travellers can rely on services from WestJet Airlines and its regional subsidiary, WestJet Encore, as well as Air Canada and its regional service, Air Canada Express-Jazz. Typically, these non-stop flights are less than 2h, with the shorter journeys taking about 1h 20min and the longer direct options taking about 1h and 49min.

Travellers looking into their travel options and researching flights from Calgary to Vancouver can find direct options as well as single-layover and two-layover options. While there are actually more than ten locations—or even combinations of locations—that serve as stops along the way for flights headed to Vancouver from Calgary, there are just two that frequently serve as layover sites. Edmonton International Airport (YEG), which sits directly north of the origin city of Calgary, and Kelowna International Airport (YLW), which is right in the middle of Vancouver and Calgary, most often provide layovers on this route. Since there is a broad range of layover cities, there is also a broad difference in the durations for these one- and two-stop options. On the shorter end, these flights can take about 2h 53min, while, on the longer end, they can take up to 11h.

Canadian travellers flying from Calgary to Vancouver will not need a passport in order to take this domestic trip. However, they will be required to provide a valid form of government-issued ID. The ID will need to include a photograph of the individual as well as their full name and date of birth. A visa is also not required for intra-country travel.
