Penticton Regional Airport

This airport is pretty sad. The small security holding area means capacity issues trying to hold passengers checking in for more than one flight.
Protip: Watch the departure screens and you might see someone stop the PowerPoint slideshow and start editing the slides. Though since they have different adverts spliced between the departures/​arrivals, they change the same info posted across 5 different slides… Awesome.
They do have wifi. best used for those times when you’re stuck waiting for a delayed flight and want to rant online somewhere…

Penticton is located at the Southern most end of the Okanagan Lake. It’s a cute little town that comes alive in the summer time. The Penticton airport (YYF) is located right in town, between the Okanagan and Skaha lakes. The airport is small and is definitely the type of place where you see the same person check you in, load the bags onto the plane, and then serve you drinks in the café. I know that Air Canada Jazz flies in here to and from Vancouver. I have flown into Penticton from Calgary but it doesn’t appear that the Calgary-​Penticton flights are happening.
We recently picked up family members at the airport who flew in from Vancouver. We parked in the open parking lot in front of the building. There was a sign that said that parking was 50 cents. My dad was trying really hard to find someone to pay but to no avail. So, Penticton airport parking cops, come to Houston and get your parking fees.
In the airport there is a small Budget rental car counter. The guys who work there are very friendly. They are associated with the Budget rental car place in Penticton city center. We were able to make changes to our rental agreement at this counter even though we had rented in town, very convenient! We were sad that the café was not open. It was the middle of the day and the airport had lots of people waiting for loved ones to get off the plane. We could have used a drink or something, but no deal.
If you can get a flight, it’s a convenient place to Penticton, Summerland, Naramata, etc… The airport is easy to find. There’s lots of parking. The people are friendly.
