Kelowna Airport Hosts Upcoming Annual Winter Travel Event

The annual Winter Travel Event will take place at Kelowna International Airport (YLW) on Oct. 25, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The event brings Okanagan residents who want to learn about what’s new for winter vacation options together with Canadian tour operators selling top winter sun destinations.

Due to the support of the airport’s aviation partners, YLW again has a line-up of travel prizes to be won.This year there are five flights for two which include: an all-inclusive trip to Ixtapa from Sunwing; air travel on Air Canada rouge to Hawaii; tickets to any WestJet destination in Canada or the U.S.; air travel to Puerto Vallarta with Transat Holidays/Nolitours; and a three-night getaway under the Northern Lights with Air North, Yukon's Airline.

Those who enter the draw in turn give back to the community by making a donation to a local charity. This year it is Bumbershoot Childrens’ Theatre (bumbershoottheatre.com).

The draw for all prizes awarded by YLW will be made at 3 p.m. on Saturday Oct. 25.  All winners will be contacted by telephone on Saturday if they are not still at the airport and the list of winners will be posted on the YLW Facebook page.
