Airfare is Back by Popular Demand!

Airfare is Back by Popular Demand!

Dear Travel Adventurers,

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news about our 2025 travel packages! After listening to your valuable feedback, we’ve decided to include group airfare into our tour inclusions. Yes, you read that right – starting next year, enjoy the economical convenience of having your airfare included in the total price of your package, making your travel planning smoother and more seamless than ever!

This feedback came in the form of a survey sent out to our past customers recently. You may have been one to take the 10 minutes or so to fill it out and offer your opinions. We thank you for taking the time to complete this and to let you know we take your suggestions seriously and make changes where needed and possible.

We will now be including the cost of your airfare in our 2025 package tours. This means you will take advantage of having a reduced rate? but it comes with the restriction of not being able to choose where you want to sit or the option to upgrade to preferred seats. This relates directly to Air Canada. When our tickets get issued and seating is assigned, we get what we are given (no choosing aisle or window or preferred seating). Most times you are seated beside your travelling partner but there are some occasions when you might be separated. Target Tours will do our best to move people around at the airport gate to ensure travel companions are seated together but it is never guaranteed.

We understand that each traveler’s needs are unique, and flexibility remains a top priority. That’s why, alongside our standard economical group booking option, we will continue to offer you the flexibility of booking your airfare independently. For those who prefer this route, we will provide an airfare allowance that aligns with the flight cost we have included in our package. This means you can still benefit from the packaged deal while having the freedom to customize your flight experience. Opting to book your flights on your own allows you to tailor your flight according to your preferences. Whether it’s selecting your ideal preferred seat, ensuring you’re seated with your travel companions, upgrading to Premium class for extra comfort, or extending your stay, the choice is yours. Our goal is to empower you with options that best fit your personal travel style. We can facilitate this and do our utmost best to ensure you are still travelling with the group. You can probably expect to spend more doing this but if you are particular on the location of where you want to sit on the plane, this will be your best option.

By including airfare directly in our packages, we aim to eliminate the hassle of securing flights—allowing you to focus on the excitement of the journey ahead. With everything taken care of, you can start relaxing from the moment you book.

We are constantly striving to enhance your travel experience based on your feedback. Thank you for helping us shape the future of travel at Target Tours. We are excited to embark on this journey together, exploring new destinations with ease and comfort.

John and Lynn
