Holiday Travel Challenges

With holiday travel there are inevitable holiday travel challenges. Last year's challenge involved snow delays across all of Canada on one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.

This year's holiday travel challenge revolves around revolving rules concerning airline carry-on rules. Currently for all flights to the USA you are limited to a personal item only. Your typical carry on bag will have to go as checked baggage.

For complete rules and regulations visit the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority website.

An added ironic bonus to this year's holiday travel challenge is the recent implementation of airline checked baggage fees. Most American airlines have fees for checked baggage. Check with your individual airline to see if they are waiving these fees while these security measures are in place.

CKNW Orphan's Fund

We have teamed up with CKNW this year to help raise money for their Orphan's Fund. Hagen's Travel and Cruises and Princess Cruise Lines are the grand prize sponsors. This year you can win a Mexican Riviera Cruise. And not just any cruise, but a balcony cabin on a deluxe ship, including airfare from Vancouver, cruise fare, tax and gratuities. Great prize. Make a donation at CKNW.com

Even if you don't win the Grand Prize, if you book one of our special Princess Cruise Lines departures Hagen's will donate $50 per person to the Orphan's Fund.

Help the kids and maybe you will be sailing away in the new year.
