The TipsTop 10 Survival Tips for Holiday Travel

By: Kathleen Rellihan

Wherever you’re heading, if you’re traveling during the holiday season, you need to realize that everyone else in the world is, too. But don’t let invasive security scanners, terrible drivers and long lines at the airports get you down. We’re giving you tips to survive the holiday travel season without a Frosty the Snowman-size meltdown.

1: Do your research.Plan alternative trips if traffic makes your way home too overwhelming. Is there a scenic drive that might be longer but have less traffic? Break up a long drive by finding a few places to stop that will get the kids more excited than a truck rest stop. When flying, make sure you check the air-line’s restrictions ahead of time on carry-on luggage and fees for checked bags.

2: Stay connected.Stock up on the latest travel apps before you leave home. GateGuru gives you approximate times you’ll spend in security. Heading out on the road? Find the cheapest gas and cleanest bathrooms on the road with GasBuddy and SitOrSquat.

3: Pack light.Avoid checking bags altogether if you can. You won’t have to wait for your luggage on the conveyor belt, and you won’t have to worry about your mom’s Christmas pres-ent getting lost in Logan Airport. If you do check luggage, make sure you have all your medications, important docu-ments and a change of clothes in your carry-on just in case

your luggage gets lost. Here’s a family packing list for more tips.

4: Pack earplugs.Short of doing yoga in the airport, the best way to mentally escape your stressful surroundings is to turn the volume down. And the easiest way to do that is with earplugs. Cry-ing baby next seat over on the plane? Earplugs. Sister’s mu-sic in the car driving you mad? Earplugs. And if you really want to check out for a bit? Bring an eye mask (as long as you aren’t driving).

5: Don’t get hangry.When your tummy growls, your mind can’t think straight, and you could unknowingly get in the wrong line, take the wrong turn, or worse, upset an innocent flight attendant. Pack snacks and drinks, so you and your family will be fu-eled up for a road trip. If you’re flying, definitely get some grub before you board the plane, so you won’t have to rely on airline food if you’re sitting on the tarmac for hours.

6: Ship gifts or give gift cards.TSA suggests to ship wrapped gifts or wait until you reach your destination to wrap them, as they might have to un-wrap a present to inspect it. Ship gifts ahead of time or bring the gift that can’t go wrong: gift cards to their favor-ite store or an Amazon card.

7: Travel on off-peak days.The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is the biggest travel day of the year and can also cause you the biggest melt-down of the year. A better option is to leave early on Thanksgiving Day and avoid the record traffic the night before. Same goes with flying: If you fly on the actual holi-day itself you’ll be avoiding the long lines and hoards of travelers.

8: Travel early or late in the day.Flight statistics show that planes traveling earlier in the day have a better on-time performance. And if your flight is cancelled, you will have the option of taking a flight later in the day. Also, there will be fewer lines at security. Best time to hit the road? When every one else is asleep — early morning or late at night. You can always take a nap when you arrive at your destination or on the ride there (if you aren’t the driver, of course).

9: Plan for the unexpected.Have only a half hour before connecting to another flight? Traveling to Rochester, N.Y., during snow season? Think ahead and plan accordingly. Leave extra time before flights to deal with security, extra time between connections and, for road trips, pack tire chains for snowy conditions, flash-lights, and of course, a few bandages never hurt either.

10: Inhale. Exhale.The overly friendly person next to you on the plane, the cancelled flights, the luggage that fell off in the middle of the highway? All of it will make for great stories over din-ner when you finally make it to your destination. After all, holiday travel stress is just as much of a tradition as pump-kin pie and regifting.
