Last minute flight to Seattle

Hi all,

Looking for a last minute flight from Vancouver, BC to Seattle, WA departing August 16, morning and returning August 19, afternoon/evening.

Have been looking around and can't seem to find any decent deals.. might just have to take the bus..

Thanks!

Bus might be the best deal for you.

You can take the Bolt Bus from Vancouver to Seattle for as low as $28!

Unfortunately there isn't helicopter service from Vancouver to Seattle anymore. You're stuck with airline flights, driving, bus, or train.

Since you're looking for a "deal" you should not be flying anyways.. the amount of time you save is quite negligible if you factor in boarding time and airport commute.

All good advice I trust gurjsingh can use, though as this isn't a Mileage Run Deal will move it over to the Budget Travel forum for further discussion.

And welcome to FT, gurjsingh!

When you add time to get to airport, waiting, and flight to SEA and getting to where you want... you are definitely better off with bus or Amtrak.

It's only a two -two and a half hour drive. Way worth your money and time if you have a car

I think I've done it for $5, but not last-minute.

Hi all - a late update. I end up taking the Quickshuttle if I have to fly out of SEA. It takes 4+ hours to get there, so I try and book my flight directly out of YVR now..
Thanks for the help
