A little travel industry reality check… ✈️
I rarely use this page anymore. Not because I don’t love talking travel, but after 15 years in the business, I’m fortunate enough to stay very busy with my repeat clients and referrals – and I LOVE each and every one of you!!!
I’ll be honest, a big reason I don’t spend much time here is because social media can bring a LOT of “just looking” and price shopping. There’s a big difference between someone who is seriously ready to plan a trip and someone who wants me to spend hours finding the cheapest possible option so they can take it somewhere else and book online :(
So, with that said, here is your friendly reminder:
NOW is the time to book your winter vacation. Not December. Not January. And definitely not two weeks before you want to leave, unless you are very flexible on where you go, when you leave and where you stay!!
In the past, Sunwing has offered flights from Saskatoon to these destinations: Jamaica, Huatulco, Los Cabos, Varadero, Cayo Coco, Cayo Santa Maria, Ixtapa and Puerto Plata.
This year, we don’t have those same direct routes from Saskatoon … we have Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Punta Cana. That is IT. That means less supply.
At the same time, there is HUGE demand for travel right now.
Less supply + more demand = higher prices, fewer choices and flights selling out. And yes, planes are already selling out.
So please don’t come to me two weeks before February break asking me to find you a “great deal” because you saw one online last year. Some of those February break flights were already sold out in June and it makes me very sad when I cannot offer you any options at all!
Could a last minute deal happen? Sure. But you cannot plan on it. And if you have specific dates, a specific destination or want decent flight times and resort options, waiting is a gamble.
If you are serious about taking a winter vacation and you want to work with me, now is the time to start planning.
And if you want me to handle the research, compare the options, take care of the details and actually help you get the right trip booked, I’m more than happy to do that.

I may not be the travel agent posting 15 times a day about “HOT DEALS,” but I’m here when you’re actually ready to travel. 😉
