On March 23rd, 2026, the BC Provincial Government announced that BC will be adopting permanent daylight savings time. This means that BC no longer adjusts their clock back 1 hour on November 1st like the rest of the Pacific Time zone (including Washington State).

To ensure consistency year-round for those booking flights out of Spokane International Airport, we’ve adjusted our pickup and dropoff times in BC so that the shuttle will always arrive at Spokane International Airport by 11:30 AM and depart Spokane International Airport at 2:30 PM Washington time.
This means for all shuttles before March 14th 2027, pickup and drop-off times in BC will be 1 hour later than previous years. Starting March 14th 2027, when Washington State adjusts their clocks forward 1 hour, pickup and drop-off times in BC will begin 1 hour earlier.
These pickup time changes from last year are reflected on our booking page and in your itinerary. As a passenger, there is nothing you need to do to account for the time change other than be on time and ready to board!
