Sometimes You Have To Take Matters Into Your Own Hands

If you’ve ever been serially dumped, Pumpkins, you know there comes a time when you just have to take matters in your own hands. Although my matters prefer something with batteries. Take CanJet Vacations. After being publicly dumped by…

It's All Fun & Games Til Someone Gets Hurt

In case you haven’t been paying attention, here is a recap of what everyone else already knows. Kirk is at CanJet, Nino is at Contac, Jonathan is a nation onto himself — And I’m here. Contac is very busy…

No News Don't Mean There Ain't News

The travel industry talking drum beats quickly and loudly Pumpkins. Long before a PR person has opened their thesaurus in search of superior superlatives, the rumour mill has ‘released’ the information, though details may remain sketchy. The old ‘loose lips…

Does That Cruise Come With Fries?

ITC packages are no longer packages – they are dynamic. And I hear it’s dyn-o-mite, dahrlings. On the other hand, mass cruise lines – who used to look down on the lowly all-inclusive – are turning themselves into promo…

We've Got Walkers

Small corrections, dahrlings. About 10 walkers [make that 14 of the highest producers] were spotted outside the itravel building late last week, dahrlings. They abandoned their posts at the once almighty online ruler. Disconnected their headsets. Logged off. …

How Low Can You Go?

Those daring (old) men and their dreams of flying machines are at it again, pumpkins. 2 jet fuel-addled geniuses have announced plans to launch separate SULCC’s in Canada (Super-Ultra-Low-Cost Carriers) at the same time. Not to worry though. Unlike all…

The Great Game Is On

It’s my favourite spectator sport, Pumpkins. The great summer game is on! When operators desperately want to score a last minute booking and kick around ITC offers like a well-worn football. Free kids, free upgrades and 40% off companions (with…

This CASL Is A Palatial Pile

When it comes to the palatial pile of anti-spam poop that is CASL, only yes means yes, dahrlings.  Implied consent is a slippery slope. God knows I dropped assenting hints the size of Robbie’s balls on the Fairmont concierge…
