Why travel in a triangle when a straight line is so much easier?

That was the question asked and answered when looking at how they could improve their flights between the Comox Valley and Vancouver.

“Traditionally, we’ve flown in a flight triangle between the Comox Valley, Campbell River and Vancouver South Terminal,” says Kevin Boothroyd, Pacific ̨MM’s Director of Business Development and Corporate Communications. “As of Nov. 4, that all changed. Flights are now just 35 minutes non-stop, and offer better connection times to other BC destinations within our network.”

In fact, Pacific ̨MM’s winter schedule includes new non-stop service for ALL flights between the Comox Valley (YQQ) and Vancouver (YVR) – 18 return flights every week!

The BC-owned and operated airline, which has its origins in the coastal town of Bella Coola, is well positioned to provide the enhanced level of service and customer experience.

“The changes give us more capacity to serve our customers, whether they’re off to any of our many BC destinations for business, to Vancouver for a weekend away or connecting to somewhere sunny for a winter getaway,” says Boothroyd.

Quicker Connections

At just over half an hour from start to finish, this new service offers to other Pacific ̨MM destinations such as Victoria (YYJ), Cranbrook (YXC), Masset (ZMT), Williams Lake (YWL), Tofino (YAZ) and Trail (YZZ).

Student Discounts

Business and holiday travellers aren’t the only ones benefitting from the new initiative. It’s also great news for between the Comox Valley and classes at the University of B.C., Simon Fraser or other BC colleges and universities, who can take advantage of Pacific ̨MM’s student discount.
