Pro Tip: When booking your flight, consider flying into Calgary International Airport (YYC) instead of Lethbridge Airport (YQL) as it often has cheaper fares and more flight options. From Calgary, you can rent a car or take a shuttle to Lethbridge, which takes about 2 hours.
Recommendation: The most efficient travel method would be flying from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to Calgary International Airport (YYC) and then continuing your journey overland to Lethbridge. This reduces the overall travel time significantly compared to taking the bus directly.
