No matter how ready you are for the holidays, there’s no doubt it can be quite stressful – especially when traveling. It can be hectic, expensive, and sometimes things don’t go the way you planned. Here are a few tips to help it go smoothly.
- Give yourself wiggle room when making plans
When you’re traveling to a new place, it’s easy to get ahead of yourself and make all these plans in the span of time you’re visiting, but it’s important to give yourself some room in case anything gets delayed or doesn’t turn out how you planned.
- Prepare for a lot of downtime and boredom
Whether your flight got delayed or you have a long drive to your family’s house, it can really add up. Downloading entertainment like Netflix shows or podcast can be really helpful and keep you from hours of boredom!
- Leave Early
Waiting in line at the security check-in, traffic jams, full parking lots, or absent shuttles can all add to the holiday stress. The holiday season is peak travel season, so arriving early will help you get where you got to go!
