Any seasoned traveller will tell you that there are certain tips and tricks that will help you enjoy your well-deserved vacation to the fullest. We want to make sure you have the best and most seamless experience possible with Sunwing, which is why we’re revealing our top travel hacks. From how to find the best deals to maximizing your time spent by the beach and simplified planning, these tips and tricks will help you plan the ultimate getaway.
Sign up for eblasts to receive first access to sales
First thing’s first – you want to get the best possible price for your vacation. If you haven’t already, make sure to subscribe to our newsletter using the banner at the bottom of our Homepage to receive exclusive deals and promotional offers delivered straight to your inbox. You might even get early access to some of our best sales (hint hint). Our most popular resorts and departure dates sell out fast, so you want to make sure to get there first to score your dream getaway at an unbelievable price.
Look for Easy Entry Destinations and enjoy stress-free travel
The idea of planning a vacation and travelling right now might seem overwhelming, but our travel experts are there to help. Our dedicated Travel Requirements landing page takes the guesswork out of the planning process, providing information on everything from specific destination regulations to on-site testing details and helpful tips on returning to Canada. For an even more seamless travel experience, keep an eye out for our Easy Entry Destination icons, destinations that have been chosen for their simple entry regulations and limited restrictions like no inbound testing requirements.
Purchase travel insurance to protect your investment
One of our top recommendations for people booking a vacay is to purchase one of our travel insurance options. The Worry Free Cancellation Waiver allows you to cancel for any reason up to three hours prior to departure and receive a 100% refund (restrictions apply) starting from as low as $49 per person. Keep in mind that you can only purchase the waiver at the time of booking and some or all of your refund may be paid in future travel vouchers depending on when you cancel.
Book a private transfer to get to your resort faster
Every Sunwing all inclusive vacation package includes complimentary round-trip transfers between the airport and your hotel, so you won’t have to deal with the hassle of arranging for a taxi. Oftentimes, you’ll be sharing the transfer bus with other Sunwing guests heading to neighbouring resorts in the area. Want to maximize your time spent poolside or beachside? Upgrade to a private transfer, which can be arranged through your travel agent or the My Booking Portal. You and your travel entourage who are on the same reservation will be the only ones in the vehicle, so you can get to your resort faster and arrive in style.
Pre-select your room so you get the spot you want
Do you prefer to be right by the pool, on the floor of your lucky number or just steps from the beach? Reserve your room location in advance to make sure you’re right where you want to be. Some resorts, like Royalton Luxury Resorts, let you choose your specific room number using an interactive map for a small added cost. If you’re thinking of upgrading your room category, we also recommend doing that before you depart, as you’ll likely be charged more once you get to the resort.
Arrange your excursions before you get there
One of the best parts of travelling is trying new things – and what better way to do that than on an excursion? There are a range of activities for every travel style, whether you want to cruise along the coast on a catamaran or go chasing waterfalls in the jungle. Our number one tip for booking excursions is to purchase them before you get down to destination. You’ll be able to pay in Canadian Dollars and avoid any currency exchange fees or international transaction commissions. Plus, if your plans change, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before you leave Canada.
