Managing holiday travel is all about, well, management. That means you have to be organized. It also means that a list of things to do is a good idea. Here are some suggestions for your list.
The day before leaving, reconfirm all your reservations. Check that departure times haven’t changed. If you reserved specific seats, reconfirm them. If you are flying a first-come, first-served airline, set an alarm for 24 hours before departure to grab an early boarding assignment.
Dealing with checked luggage, especially during the holidays, can be a giant pain. This might be a good time to try something Road Warrior mentioned in an earlier blog, ship your bags ahead using a service like UPS. The address of your Extended Stay Hotel is easily found on the company website.
One final thing before you leave for the airport. Does your carry-on luggage meet the TSA requirements for size and content? If you aren’t sure, go to the TSA website (www.tsa.gov) and click on the “for travelers” button at the top.
Just like the Scouts, Road Warrior is very big on “being prepared.”
