Airtransat and Nolitour documents

To pick up documents you do not have to sign in to the site. Just go to www.transatholidays.com and click e docs on the top right. No need to sign in. Enter the booking number, name and travel date. This is the same for sunwing/signature, and westjetvacations. documents aren't available until 28 days prior to departure, however Westjet is available right after booking is made. One problem with westjet is that everytime you do a price guarantee ( multiple refunds for price drops up to 21 days prior departure if the drop is more than $25.) you must send new tickets.
 
For those of you not signed up for sunwing/signature or noli/transat rewards ($5. per booking on a credit card to you) here are the sites to sign in. Remember our agency info is on the top of the 1800 list.
Transat/noli   www.bonbon.trucash.com

RBC Insurance Questions

Hi Fareconnect agents,

Just wanted to let you know I have called RBC Insurance to ask why insurance packages are less expensive online and he said they actually don’t sell the same packages as we do.  You have to compare apples to apples so if you get a lower quote (or think it is) its best to check to be sure it has all the same components that ours has if unsure call RBC  sales as they can help 1-800-387-4357

If you have any questions please email me and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Thanks,

Wendy

New leader in the RBC contest

As of 10:00 am nov. 15th the new leaders are:
 
Mia         Edmonton
Correna   Edmonton
Karen      Saskatoon
Emma     Winnipeg
 
All of you are selling well this month. Try to hit insurance sales of 75% on your travel sales. We have many agents this month who could be out on top with only 50% insurance sold per booking. It is not too late to review on all your sales, and not only for the month of november. All of you have clients who need insurance. Tell your clients the charter product they purchased doesn't include cancelation. Did you know that with non medical or deluxe the trip cancelation will pay for your flight home? That emergency one way flight can cost more than your whole package. Emergencies can happen while you are away. In this case you will be also compensated for the remainder of your trip cost.

other rental options in Jamaica

www.mysilversands.com is another great option for rental property in Jamaica. They also pay a commission.
 
They have many villas, apartments and condos.
 
We stayed at silver sands. Beautiful gated community with an amazing private beach. Each villa comes with a cook and housekeeper, private airport transfers are included in the price. There is a grocery store that delivers and can arrange for your home to be stocked before your arrival.
 
Many of the rental properties have a private pool. Some with hot tubs as well.
 
What is different about these rentals, is that the management company is on site.
 
They also offer free weddings.
 
Check out the website or email me if you have any questions.

Another Option in Jamaica

Hi everyone,
I came across a pretty cool option for clients that are looking for
something kind of different or have already been to JA and are quite
comfortable. We have the option of renting houses that are from 1-7
bedrooms. All in different locations. So be sure to read where the location
is and what is included. The site has all the information you should
require. We make 10%commission on these homes and as agents save the
commission as our deal. Some of the properties are ocean front, others have
their own pools. So take a peek and get an idea for what is there to sell.

Montego Bay - There are 5 properties in Mobay that have "membership to a
hotel" as such so they are able to go on property for dining at the
restaurants, beach bars, cafes, and welcome to go watch the evening
entertainment. Gives the client access, yet privacy. The properties we have
memberships to are the Tyrall Resort, Round Hill and Half Moon. Much to do
in Mobay for your clients on the hipstrip, food, shops and Margarita Ville,
clubs, Casino's....The restaurants are safe to eat at. There are catamaran
cruises at Conrwall beach called Dreamer Catamarans.
http://www.dreamercatamarans.com/montego_bay.cfm
I go on a couple everytime I am in Mobay. (for those of you that know me,
know I go every 8weeks or so....)
Canopy tour is another of my favourite
https://www.chukkacaribbean.com/MontegoBay/canopy.php
These 2 tours are right in Mobay, so not a long drive at all.
I also did the ATV tour, was lots of fun. Got to see the villages, kids,
school, farmed crops and much more. A short drive and at the same site they
can do horse back ridding or Dune Buggies....

There are Villas in Ocho Rios, but no memberships available
Mystic Mountain is fun, bobsledding, zip lining, sky ride, swimming,
restaurant and some local artists and gift shop.


Villas in Negril are also great because there are many places for
entertainment, water sports, cafe's, bars, restaurants, daytime and evening
cruises, tennis, golf and many more activities all over Negril mostly within
walking distance of one another. It is very easy to find and everyone is
welcome to enjoy and participate.

Island Routes is one of the main excursion companies and we do get
commission if we book the excursions for our clients.
http://www.islandroutes.com/


Quick info:

Food cost-$200-250/person per week

What is the difference between a villa, apartment/condo and cottage resort?

A villa is a free-standing private home that is made available for rent to
vacation travellers. Private villas range from 1-8 bedrooms in size and
offer additional living space such as living rooms, dining areas, patios or
verandas. Some also have dens or recreation rooms. Almost all private villas
have their own private pool and full staff.

Apartments and condos range from studios to 3 bedroom units and are
generally found within small complexes with shared pool facilities. Most
apartments and condos offer fully equipped kitchen facilities or
kitchenettes for guests to do their own cooking. All apartment/condo units
offer daily maid service and some offer additional cook service.
Cottage resorts vary in style – some offer free-standing individual
cottages, while others offer different accommodation-types housed within one
building.

I have to stop myself I will carry on for days about JA, so if you ever have
any questions about JA, please call me or email me anytime....

Happy Selling,
