Prince George, B.C. – The WestJet inaugural flight from Prince George to Calgary left the Prince George airport on time this morning, but not before a celebration.
Flight passengers were treated to special breakfast items, and a special cake before boarding the 6 am flight..
President and CEO of the Prince George Airport Authority, John Gibson says "this is an exciting day at YXS as travelers now have choice when flying to Alberta and beyond. This flight saves anyone traveling east, connecting out of YYC, anywhere from two to six hours of travel time. You asked, we delivered and now the success of this service is in the traveling public’s hands."
"Prince George is one of WestJet’s early destinations and we are very grateful for the strong support of northern British Columbians over the past 15 years," said John Weatherill, WestJet’s Director, Network and Schedule Planning.
This flight offers a variety of connection options out of the Calgary International Airport including places such as Toronto, Ottawa, Saskatoon, Halifax, New York, Las Vegas and Phoenix.

Wahoo, a big win for PG,
Calgary being headquarters for WestJet, Its changes the way you travel to the Caribbean out of Prince George.
Are the same connections offered out of Vancouver????
Of course.
So, depends whether one wants to visit friends at the same time or take in a show at the same time or visit downtown East Hastings and Main at the same time ….
Too many permutations and combinations to consider.
It is what it is and will be what it will be.
