It may not be winter yet, but that cold weather is certainly on the horizon and we can bet the thought of a beach vacation is going to hit you very soon. Thinking about your travel plans early isn’t just for your sanity, but it’s smart for your wallet. Often you can save cash by booking before the New Year begins, before everyone else starts thinking the same thing.

One deal we recently came up we think is a good option for travellers is Air Canada Vacations Early Booking Bonus. The deal is when you book by October 31, 2014 you’ll receive up to $300 off per couple (and families $100 per child).

Let’s be honest if this winter is anything like last, a beach getaway isn’t exactly a bad idea to have on the horizon. Air Canada Vacations offers service to over 40 destinations in the Caribbean, currently making it more than any other tour operator — meaning you have choice. You’ll find more than just all-inclusive resorts to book with too. There are boutique properties to be found on smaller islands, like Cap Juluca in Anguilla and Anse Chastanet in St. Lucia.

Another benefit of using their Early Booking Bonus is that they offer PriceGuard, which ensures that if the price of the package drops after you make your purchase, Air Canada Vacations will refund the difference of up to $800 per couple — nice for piece of mind. There are limitations to this offer you should be aware of. It’s valid only for new bookings and departures must be between November 1, 2014 and April 30, 2015.
