(they fly to calgary each friday, return each monday.) today i checked their website and found out that they also offer flights to vancouver, anchorage, <a href="https://spielwiese.fontein.de/tag/whitehorse/">whitehorse</a>, and also two scandinavian destinations, umea (in sweden) and kittilä (in finland), as well as keflavik airport on iceland. most of these flights are only offered during special seasons, though.<br>
so maybe i have to try them out :-)</p>
