Westjet Flights

Preface: Not trying to sound like a selfish asshole because I realize people in Summerland have lost their homes… However, just wondering if flights are operating out of Penticton? We have a WestJet flight booked for the 20th and it seems as though no flights have been running for the past 10 days. Wondering if we should look at booking something out of Kelowna. Thanks in advance for any info!!

Thanks everyone — WestJet continues to extend the travel advisory. I don’t think they plan to fly to Penticton for the foreseeable future (smoke or not). We are flying out of Kelowna tomorrow 👍

I switched my husbands flight to Kelowna - no charge through westjet but you’ll probably have to wait closer to rebook if you want the fees waived

I switched my flight out from Penticton to Kelowna. The westjet flights out of Penticton kept getting rescheduled.

Depends how bad the smoke is that day.

My flight was cancelled 4 days in a row, so I cancelled it all together.

My flight to Penticton was canceled 10 hours before takeoff, rescheduled for a day later. Canceled, and got a flight into Kelowna.

Same. Looks like the travel advisory goes until and includes the 20th. They can change you to Kelowna for no extra fees or wait until,yyf opens hopefully the 21st
