you\u2019ll want to <strong>fly into Vancouver (YVR)<\/strong> and rent a car. It\u2019s the perfect launch point for exploring the Fraser Valley and beyond. You\u2019ll end your trip in <strong>Kelowna<\/strong>, so plan to fly out of there (YLW) \u2014 this way, you\u2019re not doubling back. We are big fans of one way road trips over here- not just for the kids sake but also for ours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 <strong>What airline did we fly with?<\/strong><br>We flew with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flyporter.com\/en-ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Porter Airlines<\/a><\/strong> which now flies directly from Hamilton to Vancouver and from Toronto to Kelowna , making this western Canada road trip super convenient for Ontarians! If you live downtown Toronto they also have direct flights from YYZ to Vancouver!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We did a Porter Reserve booking on the way there which included free checked bags, unlimited meals, snacks and cocktails and the seats had extra leg room. And on the way back, we did their normal fare which still was amazing. All their seats include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No middle Seats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free Wifi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Premium Snacks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complimentary beer and Wine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I honestly am not sure how I will fly with anyone else moving forward. Our experience was seamless from start to finish! Porter now flies to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flyporter.com\/en-ca\/book-travel\/book-flights-online\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">so many different routes <\/a><\/strong>within Canada from the Hamilton Airport and will fly to sunny destinations like Orlando, Puerto Vallarta, Nassau and Fort Lauderdale launching in December!

And let me tell you- driving in BC is an attraction alone ( especially if you are from Ontario)- every view is something else! This itinerary is perfect for families who want a mix of outdoor adventure, farm fun, incredible eats and charming stays. From berry picking in Abbotsford to winery hopping in Penticton, here&rsquo;s how to plan an epic 7 to 10-day BC road trip you&rsquo;ll never forget. &nbsp; Where to Fly Into?&#9992;&#65039; For this itinerary, you&rsquo;ll want to fly into Vancouver (YVR) and rent a car. It&rsquo;s the perfect launch point for exploring the Fraser Valley and beyond. You&rsquo;ll end your trip in Kelowna, so plan to fly out of there (YLW) &mdash; this way, you&rsquo;re not doubling back. We are big fans of one way road trips over here- not just for the kids sake but also for ours! &eth;&#159;&#145;&#137; What airline did we fly with?We flew with Porter Airlines which now flies directly from Hamilton [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":78492,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,18],"tags":[507,24],"class_list":["post-78554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-canada","category-destinations","tag-british-columbia","tag-canada"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thedaydreamdiaries.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78554","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thedaydreamdiaries.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thedaydreamdiaries.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedaydreamdiaries.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedaydreamdiaries.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78554"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/thedaydreamdiaries.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78554\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78632,"href":"https:\/\/thedaydreamdiaries.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78554\/revisions\/78632"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedaydreamdiaries.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78492"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thedaydreamdiaries.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78554"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedaydreamdiaries.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78554"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedaydreamdiaries.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
