10 Suggestions for Surviving Holiday Travel by Lets Fly Cheaper
It is that time of year once more when you need to pack up all the presents and somehow make it to the in-laws’ house in one piece after being strip-searched at the airport and losing your luggage. Holiday travel is, in a word, no-fun, right? Well, not all of us need to be Ben Stiller from Meet the Parents. Of course, you will find inevitable circumstances and some aspects of travel, like lines at the airport and bad visitors, just can’t be helped. What can be helped, though, is your plan for how you can survive it all.
Here are our top 10 suggestions for surviving holiday travel in 2010.
Flying
*Book as far in advance as feasible. Flights book out really quickly during the holidays.
*Call the airline to confirm your reservation about a week just before. This will give you time to argue with them if some thing has gone wrong, and also to check on your seat assignment.
*Follow packing guidelines. Put your little toiletries into a plastic baggie prior to you leave the home, and carry it in an easily-accessed pouch of your carry-on bag.
*Wear comfortable clothes and shoes which are effortless to get on and off. Skip the belt, tie and formal-wear.
*Expect lines. Bring a book, magazine or pc to keep you occupied in busy airports. Keep in mind to breathe.
*Allow about two or 3 hours much more than you think you want. It’s far better to be sitting in an airport for a couple hours than it’s to be late and miss your flight and be stressed about lines and crowds.
*Don’t pre-wrap your Christmas gifts. Even if they are inside your checked luggage, they might be torn open by the security staff, so it’s greatest to wrap after you arrive, or ship your gifts by post.
*Fly on off days, like Tuesdays, and in the event you can, fly on the actual day of the holiday when the airports are virtually empty and lines are minimal.
Driving
*Drive out early or on the day of, as opposed to a couple of days just before when roads is going to be crowded and visitors will probably be poor.
*Stop for gas well prior to you should. The last thing you would like would be to run out of gas on your method to Christmas dinner.
*Make sure that you carry blankets as well as warm clothes, a flashlight, an extra tire as well as some snacks. You never know when you will hit bad weather and be caught up on the road.
*If you’re renting a vehicle, be certain to book it well in advance, as rental cars book out rapidly. Make certain you plan your flights or arrival time early within the morning, as rental automobile companies tend to over-book and, should you arrive late, you may be stranded or forced to upgrade to a more expensive automobile.
*Make certain you’ve got satellite radio, CDs or audio books to keep you entertained.
*If you do get stuck in a traffic jam, try to take deep breaths and consider something else, as opposed to getting upset, which won’t change the visitors and will only ruin your Christmas.
*Carry a standard paper road atlas, in addition to a satellite navigation system, since they are sometimes wrong. Be sure you plan your route via the paper atlas in advance, so you do not need to do significantly checking on the road.
And, most importantly..
Bear in mind the spirit of Christmas. It’s so simple to get caught up within the presents and the visitors and also the hassles of holiday travel that you ruin your own Christmas. This is really a time that we need to appreciate our family and friends and be thankful what we have, as opposed to focusing on the (comparatively speaking, trifle) hassles of travel at this time of year!
