If you’re flying over the holidays and millions of us are, here are some TRAVEL THERAPY tips to hopefully help keep you in the holiday spirit! 

So many people frantically drive to the airport to catch their holiday flight only to find the parking lot and all lots close by FULL. Then there’s a panic and the clock is ticking. Save yourself the headache and plan to get to the airport another way and don’t mess with trying to find parking when most lots this time of year are full. 

Additional Holiday Travel Tips: 

* Carry on ALL bags-this is the #1 time of year for lost luggage

* Send presents ahead-Don’t mess with trying to fit them into your luggage 

* If you are bringing some presents DON’T wrap them-security often won’t allow it and will unwrap.

* Don’t carry on candles, wine or liquids more than 3oz because they’re not allowed 

* Triple check flight plans for canceled/delayed flights.

* Drink plenty of water on your flight so you’re hydrated

* Plan for and expect delays-don’t schedule any connecting flights too tight

* Most flights are oversold-give up your ticket if you’re flexible and earn a free flight

* Computers and Camcorders need to be out of their bags for security-have them ready

Finally, try and relax. If you know this time of year is tough just accept it, because getting upset won’t do you any good and if everything goes as planned be thankful, you were one of the lucky ones!

Safe Travels!
