^Re: baggage. I'm pretty confident that zero checked bags are included, but I haven't been on a WJ vacation in a long time. The only way around that is purchasing the trip with your WJ MasterCard. Then you get 1 free checked bag per passenger.

Might be too late but for a family flying Westjet it’s worth it to get the Westjet Mastercard. Everyone on your itinerary gets a free checked bag. For a family doing 1 trip every year or two that basically pays for the card by itself.Quote:

I believe Alberta Gov't are just saying people are positive when they aren't to increase the case count
Travel is such a pain in the ass right now, I have no desire to even consider booking something
If you were going to travel why the fuck would you choose Mexico to go to right now...or ever...Quote:

Things can change, so consult the actual terms they sent you. This information should all be included in your confirmation email, or a link in it.Quote:

115 USD$ for a molecular self-administered test kit
Also free cancellation is valid for flights booked until Jan 31, 2022 for now unless Westjet releases an announcement that they are extending it.
We are considering buying extra travel insurance in case we get covid while out of the country for piece of mind so I'm calling some travel insurance tomorrow
Just to add their free cancellation/change is only for flights, it’s not free for vacations.
Thanks a bunch!! I also looked at extra insurance. Manulife was like 368$ for the wife and I, all inclusive travel coverage that would pay for any interuptions if we got a positive result and had to stay down there for awhile. I priced out just the trip interruption, but it was like $600, which was kind of weird. So I'm just going with the all inclusive package that has all the extra medical insurance I don't need as I'm covered through work benefits.Quote:

BTW, I looked into this. Looks like you can go direct to Lucira site and pay 75$ for the test kit from them directly. Then just buy the 20$ video confirmation call from Azona. It's not huge, but the 20$ savings might be important to some people, especially if you have 4 people on your trip or whatever.
Have flown back from the USA twice in the last 3 weeks. 5 random tests in our travel parties. No positives.Quote:

What I don't get is North Americans who go to the Spanish coast or the Canary Islands for that type of holiday...it's literally the same thing, even down to the language, but with a longer flight
Sorry… you think the Spanish coast is comparable to Mexico?
Aside from ordering your cervezas in the same language, I’d say that’s where the similarities end.
in mexico everything has a price even fake covid test results.Quote:

Covid-19 Pandemic Travel plan for 2 adults and 1 child, 8 days coverage is only 62$, includes Covid medical cost and trip interruption. $5000 coverage for quarantine accommodation if we need to.
We decided that we will bring 2 laptops in case we need to quarantine in Hawaii for an extra 14 days lol.
Might call Global Alliance or RBC too but I suspect they will be more expensive. TD certainly were.
Honolulu is for April, so I'm hoping some changes come for testing requirements by then. The UK dropped all their pre-travel testing requirements citing it isn't effective in preventing COVID transmission.Quote:
