Let me rephrase that. For somebody who is used to driving many hours, it might be a day trip. I personally stop off halfway and grab some sleep. I am not as confident in winter or night travel as I once was. Especially in my older SUV, it's probably not a great idea.
I think one can fly from Calgary to Vancouver for a few hundred bucks. I haven't flown to Vancouver lately, and these days, most of my flights are to Toronto or Montreal from Calgary. In these situations it makes more sense to fly, and often by WJ.
To be honest, when I fly out of Calgary, I often take the Greyhound from my city to Calgary. It is possible to fly, but the costs just pile up, and there are two flights a day from Calgary to my home city, both of which are about 4x the cost of a Greyhound ticket.
