Are There Any Non-Stop Flights Between Juneau and Vancouver?
 
All the flights I've found involve changing planes in Seattle and backtracking to Vancouver. Does anyone know of a way to fly non-stop between Juneau and Vancouver?

Yes, Alaska Airlines appears to offer non-stop flights from YVR to JNU.

Hi Judy, and thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, when I checked the Alaska Airlines for July 10th, my approximate travel date, I found only flights that involve a connection in Seattle.

Can you help me locate a non-stop flight? Or, I can call Alaska Airlines and ask for their help.

I don't believe Alaska ever has a non stop flight to Vancouver. They connect out of Seattle with their smaller partner Horizon. You have to be careful as well because some of the Juneau flights stop in Ketchikan before continuing to Seattle.

Sorry, marthag, I was mistaken in thinking that Alaska Airlines offered non-stop flights between Juneau and Vancouver.

Someone recently had introduced me to Kayak ( www.kayak.com ) as a place to look for the cheapest airfares. So I used Kayak to look for Vancouver to Juneau flights. The results came back with a list that looked to me like non-stop flights. What I did not realize was that the list just indicated the fares. It did not break down the journey into the number of connections, etc.

The website that I previously had used to compare different airlines' offerings, and which does break down the journey into its details, is ITA Software ( www.itasoftware.com ).

Thanks everyone for helping me out. I guess I'll save Vancouver for another trip and just visit Juneau and Glacier Bay this year. Vancouver deserves to be more than an add-on to my Alaska vacation,anyway.
