las vegas signIf you want to head down to Las Vegas you’ll soon have a close to home flight option, as WestJet will be offering flights from Abbotsford starting October 29th.

Westjet spokesperson Brie Ogle says YXX has lowered a number of fees, including the airport improvement fee, which helped make this happen.

Ogle says they’re trying to compete with what’s being offered out of Bellingham airport.

“We’re well aware that a number of people would prefer to drive south of the border to access some of the low cost fares that they’re offering there so we do everything on our part here at Westjet to keep our fares as low as possible.”

Flights will be on Thursdays and Sundays, with fares starting at $111.89 each way, including all taxes and fees.
