    Only direct flight to Vancouver is with Air Canada Rogue, it's only seasonal so may not run that late in the year and it only operates 3 days a week. Other options are through Heathrow or Toronto. Westjet have a direct Dublin-Calgary flight as well.

    Warning; a non-stop Westjet flight usually has a stop :mad:

    The Dublin-Calgary route will be operated by Dreamliner (787) and will be non-stop.

    Cool. I went on two "non-stop flights" with Westjet; from Dublin to Toronto in 2016, and Toronto to Dublin in 2018. Both stopped at St Johns in Newfoundland, and on the Dublin to Toronto flight I barely got back on the plane after immigration after the stop-over on the non-stop flight; the couple after me in immigration probably had to take the next flight, as they didn't get onto the plane I was on.

    It'd be great if they actually did non-stop, but if the OP has to do any immigration (for example; activating their PR card), I'd be wary of WestJet. As much I liked their planes, staff, and experience, if I ever take a direct flight to Toronto again, it won't be with WestJet!
