TORONTO--(Marketwire - May 26, 2010) - A recent Cheapflights poll revealed that more than 70 per cent of respondents are planning a summer getaway, leading Cheapflights Canada to proclaim that summer travel is on this year. However, the poll also showed that just over 25 per cent thought that summer travel was back "in all its glory," so finding ways to stretch travel dollars is still critical. To help travellers get the most out of their trips this summer, and beyond, Cheapflights.ca, the online leader in finding and publishing travel deals, is kicking off a new "How To" series that provides tips, tricks and guidelines for getting deals, saving money and travelling like a pro.
The poll asked users "what are your summer vacation plans?" The choices for answers were "still in staycation mode, money is tight," "I need to get away, even for a short trip," or "back to summer travel in all its glory." While almost 29 per cent reported they were still in staycation mode, 44 per cent voted for the need to get away even for a short break and 27 per cent claimed that summer travel was back in full swing.
"Summer travel is a fine tradition, and we are pleased that it's back on the agenda for so many folks," said Oonagh Shiel, content editor at Cheapflights.ca. "Our site is a resource for helping Canadians find cheap deals and plan great trips. In addition to our vast selection of deals, we are now starting a 'How To' series to equip people with simple advice and practical tips that will make it faster, easier and more affordable to plan and take memorable vacations...this summer and beyond."
The "How To" series starts with three important guides:
- "How To Bag A Summer Travel Deal" - A basic guide to deal spotting, with tips on when to go, where to go and when to buy
- "How to Avoid The Top Five Hidden Costs" - An overview of five types of hidden fees and tips for saving money on all of them
