Getting to Whistler from Seattle
- Save money by flying into Seattle. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) has more domestic U.S. flights than Vancouver International Airport, which translates to more competition and better flight deals.
- Discount carriers such as Frontier, Southwest and Virgin Airlines fly direct to Seattle, but not Vancouver.
- Whistler is a 4.5 to 5-hour scenic drive from Sea-Tac Airport and an only 2.5-hour drive from Bellingham Airport.
