🚨 $825 - YLW to 3 Asian Cities
Posted: August 27, 2026

This one requires a little DIY flight stitching, but $825 to South East Asia roundtrip from Kelowna is pretty darn good. It’s roughly $400 cheaper than if you tried to book it another way.

The trick is booking a $693-$715 fare from YVR ↔ to SGN, HAN, or BKK with China Southern Airlines.

Then wrapping that booking with a YLW ↔ YVR separately for approximately $131.

Your options are:

🇻🇳 Ho Chi Minh City: $693 + $131 = $824
🇻🇳 Hanoi: $700 + $131 = $831
🇹🇭 Bangkok: $715 + $131 = $846

Dates in November.

The timing isn’t bad either. Remembrance Day falls Wednesday, Nov 11, so depending on your work schedule, there’s a stat holiday sitting right in the middle of the trip.

The trade-off for the price is the DIY connection. These are separate tickets, so you’re responsible for making the connections yourself. I’ve intentionally built in plenty of breathing room, including the overnight in Vancouver on the return.

🚨 YLW to Puerto Vallarta for $383
Posted: August 20, 2026

Wow! Ok, some good pricing available to escape to Puerto Vallarta this fall with nonstop flights in both directions.

Select dates in October, November and December. 

The $383 price is available via BudgetAir.
$388 via FlightHub.
Or you can book directly with WestJet from $412.

Prices would likely not include baggage (only a personal item)

I don’t normally recommend booking through third-party sites, although I’ve personally used both of these when I was confident my plans wouldn’t change. The difference is only $29, so booking directly with WestJet may be worth it for the added peace of mind. Ultimately, it’s up to you!

What if your rent, taxes and bills could help pay for your next trip?

The Canadian service Chexy has expanded its Aeroplan partnership to include MORTGAGE PAYMENTS, which represents a huge household expense that Canadians can turn into travel rewards.

If you’re unfamiliar with Chexy, the service lets you earn rewards while using travel credit cards to pay for things like:

🔑 Rent
🇨🇦 CRA taxes
💡 Bills & utilities
🎓 Tuition
🏢 Condo/strata fees

That means thousands, or potentially tens of thousands, of dollars you’re already spending every year could be earning travel rewards.

I personally use Chexy to collect both WestJet points AND Aeroplan points by paying a couple of different bills through the service.

Swipe the image to see how I’ve gained value using Chexy, specifically, a status increase with WestJet.

Because there are fees involved, the math won’t make sense for everyone. But if you’re already collecting travel rewards, or you chase status, it’s worth looking at.

If you sign up for Chexy using my link in the bio, you get $20 when you make your first payment.

*I’m not affiliated with Chexy, Aeroplan or WestJet. I also have not (yet) signed up for the Aeroplan/mortgage offering. Note: For the mortgage/Aeroplan offer, Chexy debits your chequing account directly.

Do your own research and make sure the math makes sense for you!

Something a little different today.

London doesn’t seem like it should be north of us. Just me?

The closest settlement is a place called Port-aux-Francais

Japan in comparison is only a quarter of the world away.

Who’s more west-coast now Snoop dog?!

But not as cold.

It’s probably why high-speed rail makes euro travel feel extra fast.

Tell your boss this is research 🧐

🚨 YLW to Bangkok for ~$723 all-in
Posted: Jan 25, 2026

This one is a nice stack: cheap nonstop Kelowna–Vancouver flights wrapped around a solid Bangkok deal with one stop. The only catch is the return lands into Vancouver late, so plan an overnight in Vancouver and fly home the next day.

Find travel dates mostly in April.

Sample 17-day itinerary:

🛫 Departing Flight – Wed, Apr 8
YLW → YVR
WestJet Encore
7:35 PM – 8:39 PM
Nonstop · 1h 04m

⏱ Layover in Vancouver: 3h 56m

🛫 Long-haul – Thu, Apr 9
YVR → BKK
China Southern
12:35 AM – 10:20 AM (+1 day)
1 stop · 2h 45m in CAN
Total travel: 19h 45m

—

🛬 Return – Sat, Apr 25
BKK → YVR
China Southern
7:00 PM – 9:45 PM (+1 day)
1 stop · 1h 40m in CAN
Total travel: 16h 45m

🏨 Overnight in Vancouver
No safe same-night YVR → YLW option with a proper buffer, so plan to sleep in Vancouver (or near YVR) and fly home the next morning.

🛬 Returning Flight – Next day (book separately)
YVR → YLW
Pick any morning or midday nonstop that gives you an easy, stress-free finish.

Late April in Bangkok is hot and buzzing. Night markets and rooftop patios hit different when it’s 30°C at 9 PM, and you’ll usually find good-value hotels before peak summer rains. Apparently the south is a little cooler at that time of year. I think April is past burning season too.
