As a young marketer who loves to travel, Shirley has visited many parts of the world including Europe, Asia, North America as well as Africa. Studying International Business and Marketing, Shirley has been given the opportunity to study abroad in Singapore and Taiwan learning about their cultures and lifestyles. As a child, she has always longed for a career where she can travel to foreign countries and introduce them to the world. She realized that she needed to start small, so marketing products and services to those who were not familiar with it would be her preliminary step. When travelling became a frequent hobby for Shirley, she decided that signing up for a rewards card would be an ideal decision. Shirley has been a member of Aeroplan and Air Miles for over a decade, collecting points each time she travels. She has also stayed at hotels situated all over the world ranging from 2 stars to 6 stars; she’s become an expert in hotel bookings and standards. Although Shirley loves to travel, she prefers to redeem cash-back when making daily purchases. Her current credit card portfolio includes the MBNA Smart Cash MasterCard and Capital One Aspire Cash MasterCard as they offer a high cash-back return than most credit cards.

In 2003, Wasaya Airways bought the rights to serve remote First Nations communities from Bearskin Airlines. Not only that, but Wasaya Airways also supplies food, clothing, hardware and other supplies to 25 remote communities in Ontario.

When to Choose a Direct Flight or a Layover

ByShirley Huang

Most people would rather pay a little more to jump on a direct flight to get their vacation started and avoid all that unnecessary waiting in a foreign airport. If your layover isn’t long enough for you to leave the airport for a few hours, you could be stuck inside until you have reached your final destination. Now who would be excited for that?
