Many people find it an enjoyable and very scenic drive from Calgary's or Vancouver's International Airports. From Calgary, the northern Okanagan is a 400 kilometre drive through the Rockies in Banff, Lake Louise and the Roger's Pass. From Vancouver, its a 300 kilometre drive to the southern Okanagan is a 300 kilometre drive up the Fraser River and through very hilly Manning Park and Princeton. Many car rental companies will allow you to do one-way rentals so you can start in one major city and fly out from the other, allowing you to spend more time enjoying all the spots (like the Okanagan) in between. (The drive between Vancouver and Calgary is a solid 12-13 hours, and depends --in winter -- on the Roger's Pass not being closed due to avalanche). See Airlines Listing
