How to Travel with out stress

Planning and patience are the keys.  First purchase a book that you have always wanted to read.  Tuck that into an easily accessible place in your carry on.

Make every effort to obtain an assigned seat…even the dreaded middle seat is better that none!  Hint: most airlines release a lot of seats for pre-assignment 24 hours prior to the flight departure.  Call at that time… even if you have to set your alarm clock for 5:00 AM.  Check the airline’s website the day before you travel.  Many airlines will allow you to print out your boarding pass in advance.  If you cannot do this take advantage.  If you cannot do this take advantage of the kiosks in most major airports to obtain your boarding pass.

Pack Carefully.  If you are uncertain about the wisdom of taking a certain item check the transportation Security website – www.tsa.gov/public for a list of prohibited items.  Remember to leave your checked luggage unlocked…if you do not the lock may be broken.  You might secure your luggage from casual roaming hands with plastic fasteners.  If security cuts these in order to inspect your luggage they will replace them.

Call the airlines about 4 hours before you plan to leave for the airport for a last minute update on the flight.

Plan to arrive at least 2 hours prior to departure for a domestic flight and 3 hours if you are traveling internationally.  Try to have a friend drive you to the airport.  Parking is very limited during holidays.

Before approaching security take all the change out of your pockets and remove belts or anything with metal in it.  Remove your shoes.  This will help you clear security quickly.

Once through security, find your gate, relax and open that book!

Drink lots of water during the flight…. And get up to walk around at least once per hour.  You will feel better on arrival for your efforts.

And have a WONDERFUL TRIP!!!!!!!
