Saturday morning hiking
I am planning to lead a hike before the 'official' 'do'. So far 3 of us are going, but I'm happy to show off our beautiful trails to as many as possible! We will go at the pace of the slowest person (possibly me!).
We will be hiking from Alyard farm, meeting there at 11am. If you need a ride, PM painintheuk. It will be a slow, relaxed pace, with snacks along the way!
We'll be done and back in plenty of time to check in and relax before the Do.

Can't decide on Harbour Air or Helijet. $139/$179 respectively. I guess I could do both but I really want to fly back YYJ-YYC nonstop after the DO. The struggle...

Flex is $558 USD. Tango is $418 USD.
FP to/from YVR is about $275 USD each way, but then I need to throw in a connection on top of that. This is possible if I want to do Harbour Air.
Maybe FP+Harbour one way, and Flex the other way. Probably works out to $700.
Ugh. Too much thinking. Someone tell me what to book.
Edit: DL/AS J are about $330 USD each way with a stop in SEA, but the timing isn't as good.

I'm also struggling, but I suspect I'll be doing AC Express through YVR.

It's $270CAD R/T on WS non stop YYC-YYJ on a 737 right now (AC is a Q400 ugh). Insane R/T price to YYJ.

I`d be down to do Harbour one way(probably on the way there) if you`re down. Could do something Friday night in Vancouver and fly to YYJ Saturday. Just let me know either way before you book!

What time would you be leaving YYJ? I'm fine hanging out in YVR dom for a while, so I can time that flight to make cab-sharing possible.

$179 for Helijet for all their flights on Sat(with 2x50lbs allowance). I'll probably bring a backpack for the trip but may end up taking a day or two off to visit friends earlier in the week(wed/thurs) so a carry on may be possible too.
I was thinking of sightseeing Sunday as it's been a while since I've been to Victoria and was going to take the last flight out(9:30PM). The other options are 1:30pm and 6:30PM(All WS as I won't fly Q400 non stop on AC). The morning ones are too early for me as well lol. I died after the YVR DO
Would also consider flying AC YYJ-YVR-YYC with you to hang out. What are your time options for YYJ-YVR-SFO?

Yeah I'm down for that. There's a harbour air flight landing right at 5:05PM for $99 on Saturday, apparently 4 minutes walk from venue so that would be pretty good timing. Probably as good as it gets. Other times are $139. Problem is w/ harbour air, 10lbs baggage allowance lol $1/lb for standby baggage.

I'd have to leave YYJ by 1750 on Sunday to ensure I get home on time. Can also do earlier if we want a YVR dom MLL do
