Looking to avoid winter vacation panic? Here are the perks to booking early
With the sun high and the temperatures still soaring, we’re sure planning an all inclusive winter vacation is the last thing on your mind. But if there’s just one piece of advice we can share (even though we’ve got plenty), it’s this: book winter during summer. It's not just about being organized, it’s about securing advantages (like Sunwing’s early booking perks) that late bookers can only wish they'd grabbed.
Booking early is a flynancially-savvy move, so it’s only fitting our Flynancial Advisors break it down for you.
Get first choice on top resorts
While others find their dream beachfront suite booked solid come November, your reservation on that room with a view will be waiting for you. With reports showing that 60% of Canadians are confident they’ll go on a getaway at some point in 2025, and 35% of Canadians sure they’ll be taking a winter vacation this year, acting now gives you a decisive advantage in an increasingly competitive market.
Lock in genuine peace of mind
There's something quite magical about confirming your escape months in advance. No frantic midnight browsing sessions. No settling for whatever’s left. Just pure anticipation and knowing that this year, your winter blues don’t stand a chance. This sense of calm is exactly what forward-thinking travellers prioritize when investing in themselves (by investing in a vacation).
Booking earlier means more foresight
Now more than ever, Canadians aren’t willing to lock in rigid travel plans without back up options – and we don’t blame them. Life is full of unexpected surprises but what you can expect is Sunwing to have your back. When you book in advance, you can purchase Manulife Travel Insurance and cancel or make a change to your travel date up to three hours before departure!
Avoid the high cost of waiting
Early booking ensures more than just a room – it guarantees more flight times, your ideal travel dates and that much needed week off work. Plus, as you get closer to your desired travel date, package prices are only going to go up. Heads up: Sunwing’s most popular winter sun destinations like Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Cuba are already seeing strong advance booking patterns for the 2025-2026 season So, instead of settling for whatever you can get in November and booking a getaway that’s not even close to the one you want, set yourself up for a successful season and enjoy the many options you can get now.
