How to Manage Worry Free Vacation Travel

By Jasmine Brown


Nothing spoils the holidays quicker than a sad trip getting there, so taking the time to arrange your journey just could be the actual thing that keeps it happy. Here are some tips to planning the journey.

Economize by contacting a trip booker some way ahead of your exit date. The lowest-priced fares, hotel rooms and rental car charges can be obtained by securing them far in advance of the vacation season.

Pack light to save energy, cash and time. You also should check with your particular airline as some will place special restrictions on carry-ons during the holiday season due to the higher requirement for space.

Save on airline space by shipping your gifts instead of taking them with you. Allow at least 2 to 3 weeks for your package to arrive at your destination because both Federal Express and UPS are busy in the vacations.

Ensure that before you leave on your vacation trip, your home, plants, and pets are secure and well cared for. Pet sitters will probably times care for the plants and home too , so they are a sound investment and will give you assurance.

Remember to have somebody collect the post and newspapers so that it won't look like no one is home at your home. You should have your lights set on timers so they come on at different times. Check to be absolutely sure that you locked all doors and windows and turned off the oven and stove before leaving. Don't leave any message on your answerphone or voicemail that indicates you are leaving for a trip.

Avoid top travel days at the aeroport like the day before or the day after a holiday. Book your flight 2 days before a holiday. Try to book a non-stop flight if feasible.

If you've got an early flight, consider sleeping over at an airport hotel the night before and taking an airport shuttle right from the hotel to the airport the day after.

If traveling by car always have the car serviced by a licensed engineer. Ensure they check the fluid levels, brakes, tire pressures, and any other car part that requires regular maintenance. Take along jumper cables, additional fluids, maps, medical kit, torches, blankets, water, snacks, flares, ice scraper, chains for the tires and also a cellphone.

Traveling with youngsters by auto or air means bringing snacks and something to keep them busy like games, toys or music. You may also want to get a good double stroller if you have a baby and an infant. A Graco Room For 2 Stand And Ride Stroller is great. If they'll be sleeping on the trip bring blankets and pillows.

Good planning is essential for a safe and contented vacation trip so spend the time to plan.
