Oh, Canada!

The arrival of spring means it may be time to plan a trip to Canada’s great outdoors. Our northern neighbor’s unspoiled wilderness, magnificent mountains, and scenic lakes beckon hikers, nature lovers, hunters, and fishermen each year. Canada is aviation-friendly and there’s no better way to see the country than by air. Find out what permits and equipment you would need to make the trip in this month’s Answers for Pilots. For some help planning your trip, give AOPA a call Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern time, at 800-USA-AOPA (872-2672). And, have a wonderful time!

Emergency Assistance Plus not just for dire emergencies

When you’re away from home, anything that disrupts travel can be an emergency, but you don’t have to be critically ill to take advantage of the many benefits of Emergency Assistance Plus. Sure, EA+ comes to the rescue for serious medical situations while away from home, but it does so much more for those emergencies that could best be described as simply “annoying.”

For example, EA+ is on your side to help track down lost luggage. The organization knows the ins and outs of how the airlines work, so you want EA+ on your side when your bags go missing. It also helps with lost documents: passport, driver’s license, visas, and lost or stolen credit cards. It’s so much easier to pick up the phone and make one call when you find yourself with the dilemma of something gone wrong on a trip.

EA+ also will smooth the way with a “no limit” emergency cash transfer assistance—against a valid credit card, of course—but you won’t face a frustrating phone tree with anonymous clerks in case you find yourself with no cash and no wallet when away from home. This service becomes particularly valuable when outside the country, where toll-free numbers may not work.

There are lots of big reasons to join EA+. Knowledgeable assistance in case you face a serious medical emergency away from home is one, but there are a dozen small reasons to join as well. With EA+ on your side, an “annoying” emergency will be solved by simply making one phone call.

There’s no better time to join EA+. It’s simple and you can apply online. For just $89 for an individual and $109 for a family plan, you can’t go wrong.
