Travel during the busy holiday season doesn’t have to be full of frustrations. Remember these few tips to help you have smooth travel.
Plan and budget your Holiday Travel 💰
Travel in peak holiday season can be extra busy and priced at a premium. We recommend you consider your travel plans six to nine months in advance to find the best deals for air and accommodations.
Travel on off-peak days
Avoid traveling the day before Thanksgiving and Christmas. Traveling early on the actual holiday can often save you frustration and money.
Pack earplugs and sleep mask
Earplugs will be your friend on noisy flights and a sleep mask can help you get better sleep while in unfamiliar hotel surroundings.
Ship your gifts 🎁
Save frustration with trying to keep your suitcase under the weight limit and avoid the chance of gifts being opened for inspection. Instead, ship your gifts to your destination in advance.
Pack light for your Holiday Travel
If you can manage it, try packing a carry-on suitcase only. This will help you avoid long lines to check in luggage and will let you keep your items with you should you have any flight or train schedule changes.
Remember your chargers 🔌
With the need to arrive early to air and train terminals during the festive season, don’t forget to bring your device chargers and even a travel charging brick as a backup.
