Holiday Travel Tips

Going over the river and through the woods (or the air) this Christmas?

HuffPost has some tips to make it less stressful including:

  • Pack Smart  Don’t pack more than you need. If you can pack a carry-on bag, you won’t need to wait for baggage or worry about your bag getting lost.
  • Arrive Early  There are always lines and maybe delays during the holidays
  • Stay Positive  Is your flight delayed or canceled? Are other passengers being rude? Keep your cool and make the best of the situation.
  • Take Care of You Drink water, get rest and take your vitamins and medicine

The New York Post also shared some hacks to prevent lost luggage:

  • Buy some Apple AirTags  Pop one in your bag to keep track of it
  • Take a photo of your luggage before you fly.  A lot of bags look the same so if yours gets lost, it’s helpful to have a photo you can send the airline.  Tying a ribbon or a unique bag tag on it also helps them find it (and you, too!)
  • Print out your itinerary and put it inside your bag.  If it ends up in the wrong city and the tag rips off, they’ll open it up and look inside.  Having your flight info in there can help get your bag back to you as soon as possible.

Safe travels and Happy Holidays! 🎅
