Weather wise, it’s been quite a week !
Multiple storms here in Canada and the US caused major disruptions for holiday travel.
To avoid disruption we try to advise our Niche Travel Group clients to do the following
1: Book early and pay a little extra for the direct flight, it’s worth every penny
2: Build in an overnight in Toronto or Montreal on the departure when going somewhere without a direct flight option, do not trust a 2- 3 hour connection time. Add an airport hotel and nice dinner right into the travel budget from the start.
3: Assume the worst and pack 2-3 days of clothes, beach shoes and anything important in a carry on bag. Minimize your travel wardrobe and get used to carry on. We expect all airlines to start adding large fees for checked bags in the next few years.
Travel Tip : Lots of our guests booked their Christmas vacation last summer when the direct flights were still a good deal. There won’t be last minute deals for Christmas or March Break, so book 6-9 months in advance for the best prices and room availability.
Have a wonderful New Year’s Eve !
We look forward to sending you somewhere wonderful in 2023.
