Those months of planning for your child’s continued education have finally paid off and now your bright, young student is off at university. However, as the winter break will soon be approaching, you probably want your kid home for the holidays. Here are some top concerns that parents have when sending them off to school and coordinating their return:

Did you know that Red Arrow can take you to Cancun or Puerto Vallarta? It's true, you can take a luxury coach to Calgary International Airport (YYC) and then hop on a WestJet flight (with a great discount) to some stunning destinations.

At nearly seven hours, it's a long trip to fly from Calgary to Puerto Vallarta, but a welcomed getaway compared to some of the world’s longest flights.

Take for example, the Qantas flight from Dallas, Texas to Sydney, Australia. Considered the world’s longest flight, this 8,578 mile flight will take you 17 hours. All of a sudden, a seven hour flight to Puerto Vallarta doesn’t sound so bad!  

One of the biggest challenges to managing a sports team is the cost of travel, and when you are a coach of 12 or more players, it’s worth taking some extra time to determine the most efficient way to get to the games.

Chartering a shuttle van for sports teams can ensure that the players get to the game on time and safely. If an event is thousands of miles away then it might make more sense to fly, but if a match is within a few hours then taking a charter bus sure beats everyone driving their own private vehicles.

Most of us have a hard time slowing down long enough to acknowledge the things — big and small — that resonate in our lives. Take a moment this Thanksgiving to account for, and give thanks for all you have. This year, we celebrate Thanksgiving on Monday, October 10th. Consider spending this time with friends and family — on Red Arrow, we’ll get you home safely to spend the holiday with the ones that matter the most to you.

Weddings, conventions, family reunions, field trips, etc., fill up our weekends during and all those event-goers are going to need a way to get to their destination!
