5 cheap flight deals from Vancouver to snag as COVID-19 restrictions ease

It’s been a long time since many of us have taken a vacation outside the country, and now that COVID-19 restrictions are easing, many people are finally taking a look at what kinds of trips are possible.

Canada is scrapping its COVID-19 test requirement for re-entry as of April 1 for all vaccinated travellers, meaning it will be easier than it has been all pandemic to travel abroad.

Fuel prices are unfortunately shooting right up as things are reopening, but there are still several affordable flight routes from Vancouver where there are good deals to be had.
