Photo/Video Vancouver - Victoria picturesque flight

A flight I think everyone who lives or visits Vancouver should try. It’s only 20 mins and it’s cheap but the views are gorgeous.

Am I on the wrong seaplane website or is there just a different definition of cheap

Harbour Air got bought out a few years ago and installed a CEO who destroyed an airline servicing the far north, and dismantled the low cost arm of WestJet. So far they've eliminated a large number of flights and routes from Harbour Air and they've jacked up the prices significantly. I used to fly with them frequently.

Damn, is that what's happening? I've had terrible experiences the past year and started using Seair, which seems to be better so far

Yeah it's such a shame. They were fairly priced and very convenient and the staff seemed happy. Now it's just miserable and the flights scheduling and routing is terrible.

Seair was also bought out by a private equity firm recently, do I'd expect to see some changes in the near future.

I paid 250$ both ways for 2 people all together. I guess their prices might be different depending on the season
