Happy Global Travel Advisor Day!

Travel Advisors do so much more than "book travel". They truly have your back throughout your entire trip.

And you're paying for one when you book yourself online or direct! Why pay for a service that you're not getting? 🤔

Want to have your own personal concierge? Then let's get started! Pick a time to chat with me about your next dream trip! https://calendly.com/finerthingstravel/initialcall

One of the perks I get for having my own travel agency is the ability to offer discounts from suppliers. Today I'm doing just that!

Viator is a well known (and I personally use and recommend!) experience supplier across the world. You'll find cruise shore excursions - to airport transfers - to culinary, walking, and private tours - admission tickets - and everything in between! AND many are reserve now, pay later, and free cancellation up to 24 hours before!

I can save you 10% on anything and everything you want to do with Viator! You do have to go through my link https://FinerThingsTravel.com/Viator and enter the code SHOREANDMORE10 at checkout to save 10%! Code is valid though February 26th!

Happy to answer any questions or give recommendations if you're looking for things to do while away - or even in your own backyard!

If you need any help traveling (even if you’re not my client), please let me know. I’m happy to help you or someone you love with general ideas, suggestions and travel tips.

Everyone needs to stay safe and listen to local authorities. When they say stay home, be sure to do that.

Charge up your devices, plan how to stay warm if you lose power, and decide on your plan 'b' options should you need it. Hope everyone prepared for the worst and that it’s not as bad as it sounds.

Thinking ahead to when all this snow coming will have so many of us stuck inside, which is honestly the perfect time to plan something fun to look forward to!

For anyone who doesn't know, I'm Becky and I'm a travel advisor and owner of Finer Things Travel. I help families, couples, and groups plan trips without the stress, confusion, or endless Googling. I handle all the details so you can just enjoy the trip.

Travel should feel simple, meaningful, and actually enjoyable.

This is a recent photo of me enjoying the Ice Bar on my transatlantic cruise in late November. 🩵

If you're sitting at home this weekend thinking "we really need a vacation this year", I'm always happy to help or answer questions. No pressure, just a resource if you need one.

I also have a private Facebook group where I share tips and other helpful information, you're welcome to join and to see if we would be a good fit. I'll put the link below!

Stay safe and warm, all! 🤍❄️

⚠️ CARIBBEAN AIRSPACE UPDATE

What’s going on + what travelers need to know right now:

Venezuelan airspace is now closed to most international flights. Several nearby Caribbean and U.S. airports temporarily suspended operations for safety checks, resulting in delays and cancellations across the region.

👀 IF YOU ARE TRAVELING SOON, AIRPORTS & FLIGHT IMPACT

Flights in and around Venezuela, as well as connecting routes through parts of the Caribbean and South America, are being rerouted or canceled.

Airports in Miami, San Juan, and other cities are experiencing significant delays as airlines adjust flight paths and schedules.
If you are flying anywhere in the region this week, expect disruption and consider your options. If you need help, I'm happy to chat. There is NO estimated timeline on how long this disruption will last.

🚨 IF YOU’RE CURRENTLY TRAVELING

• Stay where you are and contact your airline directly. Start flight tracking on FLIGHTY or FLIGHTRADAR24. Flight schedules are changing hour by hour.

• Head to the airport if you have a confirmed flight. Delays can change quickly. Cancellations need to be rebooked, and sometimes this is easier in person, but can also be done automatically on your airline app. Most cancellations are operational and outside airline control; however, all they can do is put you on the next available flight either to or from that destination.

• If your flight is SOON, consider canceling and rescheduling for another time. Get a credit from the airline. This choice is NOT covered by insurance if you make it BEFORE a cancellation has occurred - but it is definitely a good option, allowing you to go to a different destination using the credit or traveling on a future date.

🧳 IF YOU HAVE AN IMMEDIATE UPCOMING VACATION

• Monitor your airline app and travel advisories daily. Airspace closures often ripple out for days, even after the airspace closure ends.

• Contact your travel advisor before making any changes. They can assist in making pivots and give you options, even if they are crappy.

• Keep travel insurance handy and review what’s covered under “political unrest” or “travel interruption.” In some cases, insurance does NOT cover stuff like this so make sure you UNDERSTAND your policy.

❗️ BOTTOM LINE:

Be patient, do not take out your frustration on airline staff, stay informed, and lean on your travel professional, who can help you navigate the logistics. Sometimes, you need to sit tight, don’t panic, and keep your plans flexible.
