Travel tips

Most vacations involve spending a number of days, or a week or more, in a single location. However, sometimes people have a limited amount of time to spend in a single city. This can be the result of a long layover, while travelling for business, on a road trip or just wanting to squeeze as many cities as possible into a vacation.

The minute someone finds out you are going on a trip, they seem to have a vast array of travel advice, even if they have never been to the destination or have no experience with the type of trip you are planning. You know: It’s the person who tells you not to talk to the locals, the one who tells you to stay on the resort or the one who thinks every place is dangerous and you will end up being captured and taken hostage.

The airline you choose to fly with can have a major impact on your overall flight experience. Even though all airlines seem to be similar, every airline has differences that makes it unique: simple things, such as their approach to customer service, the size and number of flights they offer, how they handle issues that arise during air travel and pricing and seat options, all play a role in determining how Canadians perceive them.

Every year, Canadians take a trip across the border to the United States. Although there are various reasons Canadians like to travel south, one of them is familiarity. Of all the countries in the world, the US is one that is possibly the most similar to Canada. We share the same language and have similar geography and culture. There are many comparison points – that is, until you start comparing the laws.

Keeping tabs on your luggage can be a challenge when you travel. Once you hand it over at the baggage check-in at the airport, you never know if or when you will see it again.

Having a good travel bag can be worth its weight in gold. You want something that is durable, dependable and can fit all your travel essentials. From backpacks to carry-ons, full-size suitcases, laptop bags and more, there are countless options to choose from. Travel bags also are available in a wide price range, and it’s no secret that luggage can be really expensive.
