Take Some Stress out of YOUR Holiday Travel
Traveling during the holidays can be exciting and rewarding…Yet it can also be full of
stress getting to your destination and returning home. Due to the sheer volume of
holiday travel, preparing for travel roadblocks is imperative to ensure a stress-free vacation
from beginning to end. Below are 5 tips for a smoother journey:
1. Passports. If a passport is needed, make sure it is not going to expire within 3 months.
Some airlines will actually suspend your flight even though your passport has not expired,
but is close to expiring. So double-check the expiration date of your passport today!
At Stoked Journeys Travel
Concierge, it is our goal to
provide YOU with top-notch
service and that also means
advising YOU how to make
YOUR trip as stress-free as
possible.
2. Use carry-on luggage. Getting everything into a carry-on bag will not only save you
from paying checked baggage fees, but also frees you up with dealing with the extra
baggage. Plus, you are more able to handle the surprises that often come with holiday
travel. If you need to change your flight, or decide to fly standby on an earlier departure,
you’ll have everything with you when you arrive at your destination. If you are bringing
back gifts on your return flight, you may want to purchase inexpensive luggage at your
destination, or bring along another duffle bag that you can use in case you’re bringing
home more than you anticipated!
We hope as the seasons
change and school is back in
session, you’ll start thinking
about where YOU would like to
be for the holidays ….on a
beach? With your family?
3. Ship gifts. If you are traveling with “gifts” in tow, it may be best to ship them ahead of
time. This will reduce the chance of breakage, lost gifts, and just simply weighing you
down.

Concierge is here to help YOU
plan YOUR travels this
season….or decide to do
something brand new!
4. Take an early morning flight. Not only do the first flights of the day typically have
better on-time departure statistics; they can help you avoid weather-related delays and the
congestion of travelers flooding the airport and highways. Aircrafts departing early in the
morning are more likely to be at the gate, de-iced and ready to go. And in the case that
bad weather does cancel your flight, you’ll have more options for rebooking throughout
the remainder of the day.
5. Arrive early. It should be expected that the volume of travelers will be increased at this
time. Allow yourself ample time to get checked in, go through security and get to your
gate. It is recommended to arrive at the airport at least two hours early for domestic
flights and three hours early for international flights.
