Are you jetting off for the summer? If so, don't just pick up and go. Planning for your trip ahead of time could help you have the vacation you've been daydreaming about. Here are some ways to travel smarter:

Pack Smarter - Pack a small, collapsible duffle bag in your suitcase on your next trip. This way if you go overboard with buying souvenirs and gifts, you have somewhere to store them (checking a second bag is often cheaper than an overweight bag!). And while we hope this doesn’t happen, in the event of your suitcase getting lost in route - make sure you keep the essentials and a change of clothes in your carry on.

Feel Better Faster - Keep a first aid kit on hand and make sure it is fully stocked with bandages, ibuprofen, hydrocortisone, and topical antibiotic. If you take prescription medications, keep these in your carry on and read the TSA’s guidelines for bringing medications on your next flight.

Put Safety First - We know there are plenty of travel apps that can help you manage your flight itinerary or find the nearest coffee shop - but do you have apps on your phone for safety as well? Take the Red Cross’ First Aid app for example, this app helps to deal with emergency situations with a few swipes of your screen. Travel Safe compiles all emergency numbers you could need depending on the country you are visiting. For additional safety apps, view the video below:

Limit Air Travel Hassles - Hold onto your boarding pass, it shows some essential information like your ticket number, your seat, how you were ticketed, and baggage claim details. If you have a mobile boarding pass, screenshot the image in case you don’t have service to access it. Also make sure to have insurance on all those hard-to-replace items in case any get lost or stolen during your travels.
