Additional Flights From Canada

Aloha Kakou:

WestJet Airlines, the Canadian airline, is increasing the number of flights from Vancouver to Hawaii by a factor of 3.

The airline currently has seven flights a week and is planning on increasing that frequency to 23 flights a week, starting November 1, including one flight a day to Kahului (OGG).

The recent strength of the Canadian dollar has boosted that country's buying power. Canadians spend about $150 per day and, while that may seem low, their average length of stay is a whopping 12.3 days, compared to the approximately seven days for mainland US visitors.
