    Where do you dream of jetting off to this fall and winter?

    A sun spot like Los Angeles, Puerto Vallarta, Cancun, Mazatlan, Los Cabos, Las Vegas, or Phoenix?

    A close-by city break in Vancouver, Seattle, Victoria, Calgary or Edmonton?

    A little farther afield, but still in Canada, to Toronto or Montreal?

    Find out about all the destinations you can get to non-stop from Kelowna International Airport at today's Fall Travel Show.

    The expo runs from 10 am to 2 pm at the KF Centre for Excellence just east of the airport's main terminal.

    </who>A 7-day, all-inclusive holiday for two in Puerto Vallarta is being raffled off at this weekend's Fall Travel Show at Kelowna International Airport.

    The show will feature an array of booths where you can meet travel agents and representatives from airlines, hotels and other travel and travel-related businesses.

    "We've added new destinations and expanded flight options, making it easier than ever to experience cities, cultures and landscapes from YLW," said Kelowna airport CEO Sam Samaddar.

    "The travel show is a great free event for Okanagan residents to connect with local travel experts to help plan their next getaway."

    </who>A trip for two to Los Angeles is also one of the prizes. Pictured here is the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown LA.

    Another draw (pun intended) of the show is the raffle with three incredible prize packages.

    Raffle tickets are $5 each or $20 for five and will only be available at the show.

    A trip for two to Los Angeles is up for grabs, which includes round-trip flights, hotel, taxes and a hop-on hop-off sightseeing pass.

    There's also a week-long vacation package for two to Puerto Vallarta with round-trip flights, all-inclusive hotel, taxes and transfers to and from the airport in Puerto Vallarta and the resort.

    Also up for grabs is round-trip flights for two on Air North between Kelowna and anywhere the airline flies.

    Air North is the Yukon's airline, so it flies from Kelowna (via Vancouver) to the territory's capital of Whitehorse.
