Tomorrow is the first day of November, and that means Thanksgiving will be here before you know it, followed by the December holidays. But before you can see friends, family, and of course - eat lots of great food - you just need to get there.
If you plan on traveling this season, make sure to first check out a few of our travel do’s and don’ts for the holidays.
Do know when to travel. Sometimes it’s inevitable, but if you can, avoid traveling at peak times. Holiday weekends tend to be the most crowded, while the actual holiday is usually pretty clear. If you’re planning a road trip, look up if and when you’ll be hitting major cities and try to avoid them during rush hour. If you plan to fly, aim to leave early in the morning or late at night, to avoid getting stuck in traffic on the way to the airport.
Don’t wait to book. Transportation around the holiday’s can get expensive. The best way to save money is to book your rental car, train ticket or flight as early as possible. Last minute blowout deals or standby flights can be tempting but may just leave you more stressed than relieved if something goes wrong.
Do look up TSA’s rules. No one wants to be the person sitting on the airport floor riffling through their luggage - so before you pack, take a quick look at the TSA’s list of prohibited items.
Don’t sweat the small stuff. As frustrating as small hiccups may be (i.e.: needing to go buy things you forgot to pack), remember that these little inconveniences are going to be the things you look back and laugh at.
Do arrive early. Plan for traffic, bathroom breaks and security lines by leaving early. The TSA suggests arriving 2 hours before any domestic flight - or, save yourself time and stress by applying for TSA’s PreCheck service. Last year, more than 97% of precheck customers spent just 5 minutes on the security line.
