Tips for traveling by air during the holidays
The holidays are an exceptionally busy time for air travel, so if you’re planning on taking your trip during the busy season, it’s important to take some steps to ensure it goes smoothly.
Here are some tips for traveling during the busy season, from Travel and Leisure:
- Book your flights far enough in advance
- Be flexible on airports and dates
- Book direct flights if possible
- If you’re traveling with Christmas gifts, pack them in your carry on
- Have a backup plan in case
If you do plan to fly internationally or take advantage of a Travel Tuesday deal to snag flights out of the country, be sure to make sure your paperwork is taken care of in advance. Over the summer, high demand for U.S. passport processing led to delays of up to four months.
