With over twenty-two years of travel experience, mainly in the winter, I would like to share my knowledge with fellow travelers. 

I now use YouTube @travelcheapwithpete for my travel tips.

 Before booking online always check (read below in red).
  • Always check $$$ Currency.
  • Always Check To See If You Need A Travelers Visa Before You Travel, Go To VisaHQ.ca, VisaCentral.com or best to go directly to the country website visa.
  • When finding a cheap flight most of the time they will not be a direct flight, you may have possible multiple flights and or layovers.
  • If you have a long layover check out airports where you can sleep sleeping in airports.
  • When taking multiple flights and NOT the same airlines make sure you give yourself lots of time or check to see if you're covered in case of delays or cancellations.
  • Always check for cancellation and change policies, you may have to pay more for any changes to your travel itinerary.
  • Claim compensation for flight delays and cancellations  Air Help
  • Always check the country your going to currency $ before booking,most automatically use $USD. 
  • Always check for extra baggage charges.
  • When going to a foreign country or countries with a checked baggage, taking a connecting flight ask the airlines where you pick up your checked baggage.
  • When staying or sharing someones home make sure you read their reviews from other travelers.
  • When renting a car make sure you are insured as most people think they are covered with their visa card or their car insurance at home and they are NOT covered in most countries.
  • Make sure you have your travel immunization (shots) before traveling, some counties will not allow you in their country if you're not immunized.
  • Use Google and YouTube to find out the does and Don’ts in the City and Country you are visiting.
  • Warning! Always keep your flight ticket and boarding pass for travel insurance until you return home as you know the insurance companies will try and find a reson not to pay out. 
  • World Flight Connections Direct from your City​

Flights, Rooms, Cars, All Inclusive Vacations & Cruises Frequently, I always find 5 star hotels at three star prices.  Always check $$$ Currency.

​Recommended Websites For Canadians To Sign Up With

​Sometimes I will find cheaper with hotel, flight and ground transportation cheaper that just the flight TIPS How to use TravelCheapWithPete.com  (Travel My Expedia) scroll down to flight ITA Matrix then hit Origin for us YYC Destination _ _ _ then scroll down to Search exact date hit the down arrow See calendar of lowest fares, put start date a few days before you want to go then add how many days you want to go for it will give you a 30 day window, then look at stops (nonstop most people like), for me I don’t care, I have had so many cheap flights with stopovers, then hit currency $$$ then hit search you will see a 30 day with lowest price in orange. After you find what you want best to go directly to the airlines or Expedia Let them know how you found it and they will match it. The cheapest flight I found on here was $199 CAN Calgary to Panama direct.
Another good site I like to use is Google Flights Just above the ITA Matrix link you can put in the dates and where you want to go and they will email you when prices come down or if they are going up too, it’s best to also give it a couple of days before or after.
https://www.expedia.ca/ Packages Sometimes you can get a package cheaper than a flight but you may have stops. Put in leaving from for me yyc going to for me Playa Del Carmen, if single like me, it may be cheaper in hotels for double not all the time then once opened hit not recommended (high end) hit price: low to high, most places you will get flight, hotel, breakfast not ground transportation, again sometimes you will see it cheaper than just the flight. Three years ago, I got a flight, hotel, breakfast plus ground transportation single for $650 CAN 7 nights
And for all-inclusive I like to use https://www.selloffvacations.com/en/  Traveling from my city YYC going to Cancun airport to my area (Riviera Maya) After you open the page on the top right corner you will see in green the lowest price calendar hit that you may see it cheaper a couple of days before or after. In 2014 I got a direct flight, all-inclusive ground transportation for $425 CAN https://www.worldtrippete.com/my-travel-blog/archives/11-2014 my best deal ever in an all-inclusive.
 https://www.redtag.ca/  It’s Canadian plus it will show you the dates above the cheapest days to go.
Go to Expedia top hit package enter your departing city (yyc) then go to Playa Del Carmen) then dates, then how many travel/rooms then hit search, when the page loads you will see sort by recommended change it to price low to high. You will not believe what you will see most times it will be cheaper than just a flight and you will even get a room with it. After you select the hotel and then the room look for the upgrades $$$ after you select you can pick the airlines some will be zero $$ sometimes you can even get direct both ways. I was just checking out Balam on the 15th right behind the ADO bus station, going camping Friday or Saturday. Maybe see you Wednesday or Thursday?  Play around with it maybe you will find days that are direct flights too.
Some of my best deals Australia, Mexico found on Selloffvacations, yycdeals and Expedia Package https://www.worldtrippete.com/my-travel-blog/i-found-some-great-deals-for-winter-2018-19
