With clients flying to Africa, Italy, Greece, Florida, Anguilla, Hawaii and beyond this weekend, we know it's a busy holiday weekend in airports around the world! Here are our top tips to stay sane and on schedule when flying over a holiday: βββββββββββββββββββοΈ Arrive early: it might be annoying to wait around in the airport, but with longer security lines, parking challenges and check-in times, it's better to arrive early.
βοΈ Pack light: holiday weekends are typically when luggage carousels get backed up, flight delays happen and luggage gets lost. Try and pack in a carry-on to avoid any checked bag stress. If you are checking a bag, use an air tag!
βοΈ Keep essentials handy: make sure to have important items like your ID, charger, medications and jewelry on you at all times if you are checking a bag.
βοΈ Purchase travel insurance: over holiday weekends, flight delays, cancellations, baggage issues and more are SO common. Purchasing travel insurance is typically around 5-8% of your total trip cost and can end up saving you thousands on a travel day mishaps.
