Make a list of things to do\u00a0<em>before\u00a0<\/em>your trip<\/h3>\n<p>This list may include stopping the paper (or having someone else pick it up for you)\u00a0 and calling the bank to give them your travel dates and where you are headed. This way your credit card doesn\u2019t get suspended while you\u2019re traveling. Don&#8217;t forget to make sure you have someone to care for your plants and pets!<\/p>\n<h3>2. Make a packing list<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t wait until the last minute to throw things in your suitcase, especially if you are going to be traveling for a week or more. If you are going somewhere chilly, keep in mind that packing your winter wear (such as boots and coats), these items will take up more room than you may expect.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Avoid Overpacking<\/h3>\n<p>Leave room for your purchases and gifts while you\u2019re traveling. A good tip is to pack the gifts you have for loved ones, then you know you will have extra room when you replace them with the gifts you receive.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Check with your airline ahead of time to make sure you know the rules for what you can bring with you on the plane<\/h3>\n<p>These rules vary among airlines, for the size and content of luggage, as well as what you can carry on. For example, on Frontier airlines, you will be charged even for a carry-on (actually, you will be charged more for a carry-on than for a checked bag). There&#8217;s no point in cramming everything in a smaller bag if it is just going to cost you more!<\/p>\n<h3>5. Check your airline\u2019s recommendations for what time you should check in at the airport<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t try to save time by showing up right before the flight, as you will only stress yourself and everyone else out. Check in early and enjoy the amenities available in your airport, including reading a book or magazine or electronic device in the waiting area. This is especially important if you are traveling with little ones. It may take extra time to get them through security, to the bathroom before take-off, and for last minute needs and snacks. Keep in mind that many airports now have free Wi-Fi, so if you are worried about keeping your kids busy, have a plan for something for them to watch so you do not get more stressed.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Dress comfortably and in layers to adjust to cabin temperatures<\/h3>\n<p>We never get on a flight without a pair of socks and a lightweight but warm jacket. For longer flights, consider bringing a travel pillow and blanket.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Wear slip-on shoes to make getting through security easy<\/h3>\n<p>For international flights, you may need to remove your shoes more than once (another good reason to bring socks). It is much more comfortable to be standing in a public line with socks on rather than your bare feet.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Be sure to have luggage tags on the outside\u00a0<em>and inside\u00a0<\/em>of your bags<\/h3>\n<p>If for some reason your outer tags come off, you will be able to prove that your bags are yours with the inside tag.<\/p>\n<h3>9. Bring your own food if you want to avoid having to buy food on the plane<\/h3>\n<p>Stick with cold items, and don\u2019t choose highly spicy, garlicky, or other strong-smelling food out of respect for your seatmates.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, enjoy your trip! Travel is a gift that should be treasured.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Call Enchanted Honeymoons Travel at 402-281-3022 to plan your last minute holiday travel!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holiday travel is in full swing, which means crowds and extra stress at the airport.
