Funjet Vacations – Putting the Fun in Family Travel

You may already know that Funjet Vacations is all about family. In fact, stress-free family travel has been a Funjet focus for nearly 50 years. Choose from the widest selection of family-friendly resorts in all your clients’ favorite places, from U.S. hotspots like Florida, California, and Hawaii to amazing islands and destinations south of the border.

Families dreaming of taking part in “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” for Walt Disney World© Resort’s 50th anniversary can snag great deals on stays on property or off, along with theme park tickets. Disneyland® in California offers even more opportunities to be enchanted as its iconic Main Street Electrical Parade makes a limited comeback. And don’t forget Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, and Aulani, Disney Villas, where everyone can enjoy amazing adventures—and Disney magic—on Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands. Or for more thrills, Universal Resort’s theme parks and amazing hotels offer teen-favorite, Halloween Horror Nights, returning for another year of terrific terror this fall.

Of course, you don’t have to stick to stateside theme parks for a top-notch family travel experience. Mexico and the Caribbean offer countless hotels and all-inclusive resorts that will keep the kids, tweens, and teens entertained all vacation long, while parents keep their budget intact. Most offer kids’ clubs with daily supervised activities, babysitting services, all-ages entertainment like on-site water parks, and much more. Think Sunscape® and Dreams® Resorts & Spas by AMR™ Collection, RIU Hotels & Resorts, Iberostar Hotels & Resorts, and Nickelodeon™ Hotels & Resorts by Karisma, to name just a few.

Funjet makes getting there easy with children in tow with our Exclusive Nonstop Vacation Flights (ENVFs), available from 11 U.S. departure cities to popular all-inclusive hot spots such as Cancun, Cozumel, Huatulco, Jamaica, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, and Punta Cana. Your clients usually enjoy early departures and late returns that maximize their time on the beach building sandcastles with the family. Meanwhile, you earn full commission on the air portion as well as the hotel portion of the package.

Traveling with kids can be tricky, ensure smooth transport by adding roundtrip airport/hotel transfers to your bookings with Amstar. A team of Amstar™ DMC representatives will greet your clients upon arrival in Mexico and most Caribbean destinations, and guide them to their hotel transfer. Amstar representatives are available throughout their stay, to book optional excursions from the most reliable independent vendors—which you can also reserve in advance to receive commission—Allowing families to enjoy time together while making lasting memories! The chance to earn more doesn’t end there, though. As part of Funjet’s Get Paid to Upgrade program, you earn a 2% bonus on the entire hotel portion of the package when booking higher room categories at select hotels, giving families a little extra room to spread out in those family suites.

If there’s a no-brainer when traveling these days, though, it’s securing travel protection. There’s always a chance that the unexpected will happen, and those chances multiply with family travel. Encourage your clients to purchase Travel Protection Plus, allowing them to change or cancel for any reason (with your commission protected), get our Price Guarantee if the same trip is discounted after booking, and receive high-quality post-departure insurance, plus our Hurricane Guarantee.

Exclusive Perks, available only from ALG Vacations®, are another way of enhancing the customer experience, and making them feel like VIPs. Some of our best complimentary perks for family travel include an in-room breakfast, Bali bed rental, family photos, resort coupons, private transfers, and early check-in/late check-out, giving everyone a few extra minutes of pool time! Exclusive Perks vary by resort, so check them out here.
