The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that travel agents say people are getting wary about their travel plans ahead of another summer that could be marred by staff shortages. The Globe's Salmaan Farooqui writes that already in late June, more than 600 flights were delayed and nearly 90 were cancelled at Vancouver and Toronto airports in one weekend because of a shortage of air-traffic controllers. Some would-be travellers say they are avoiding air travel altogether, while others are being careful about the types of flights they book and the insurance coverage they purchase. Lesley Keyter a Calgary's agency the Travel Lady says a couple of her clients have done a road trip from Calgary to Vancouver before boarding a cruise ship to Alaska. Cruise operators are trying to win back customers after the COVID-19 calamity. Ms. Keyter also says travellers who have connecting flights to far-flung destinations can research whether certain transfer hubs are known for massive delays. When booking flights for customers, she's had better experiences with German airports like Frankfurt and Amsterdam's Schiphol airport. On the other hand, she avoids sending customers through Pearson or London Heathrow whenever possible.
