March Break Traveling

Windsorites are choosing less expensive destinations for March break, according to a local travel expert.

Josie Hendry is a travel consultant with LETO Travel Services Inc. in Windsor. Hendry said there are many great destinations to visit but it depends on the kind of vacation people are looking for.

“If people are looking to book a vacation-based package, one of the more expensive places to go would be the Bahamas,” said Hendry. “Less expensive destinations would include  Cuba, Dominican Republic and Mexico,”

Hendry said if you are looking for a quality airline, fly with Sunwing.

“I love them. Their customer service is really good and I send all my clients there,” said Hendry.

“Sunwing offers many of benefits within package such as meal plans and last minute flights starting at $265 plus tax and additional fees.”

She said this month Canada is all booked up on flights, so it is recommended to fly out of the U.S.  but right now it depends on when they have sales. According to Hendry they have deals for flights out of  the Middle East, so she expects many people will be booking flights to Lebanon and Jordan.

Emmy Aleman is from Mexico City but is now  living in Mississauga . She has traveled to many places throughout the world including Egypt, France, Hawaii and Russia. Aleman said she always checks when it is cheap to travel. It also depends on the weather where she is traveling. She normally does not fly out of the U.S. but usually flies from Toronto’s Pearson Airport. Aleman said  she does not care which airline she flies with or which travel agency she books with. She said her only concern is to find the best deals.

“When it comes to traveling to countries it does not matter if it is a warm or cold destination,” said Aleman. “It’s the world. It’s so big and you have so little time to travel so going to different countries and places I think is worth it.”
