ARRIVAL CHECKLISTBefore leaving Kelowna International Airport
Kelowna International Airport (YLW) is northeast of Kelowna in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley. Big White lies to the southeast, SilverStar above Vernon to the north, and Revelstoke requires a much longer northbound road journey. The airport directory lists shuttle and private-transport providers serving ski destinations. Big White publishes an advance-booked airport shuttle; Revelstoke also has a booked airport-transfer option. City transit is useful locally but does not deliver visitors to all three ski villages. Decide where you are staying before requesting a quote: resort base, town hotel and outlying property can mean different transfer arrangements.
- Check DriveBC and current winter-equipment requirements for your route. Add time for snow, shared drop-offs and highway interruptions, especially on the longer Revelstoke leg.
- Confirm the terminal, hotel address and ski luggage before booking.
- Keep enough time between landing and a fixed onward departure.
