Holiday Travel Tips Everyone Should Know
LOS ANGELES, CA - (December 7, 2015) – According
to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the holiday season
surrounding Christmas and New Year’s Day tends to be one of the busiest
times of the year for traveling. In fact, travel during that time of the
year increases 23 percent, compared to the rest of the year. As many
people take to the highways and skies, there are some tips they should
keep in mind in order to help keep them safer and healthier along the
way.
“It’s a big mistake to just
pack and go and not put much thought into your travel wellness,”
explains Tina Aldatz, chief executive officer of travel wellness
company, Savvy Travelers. “You want to make sure that you pack smart,
keep toiletries simple, and be safe and healthy and try to avoid getting
sick. That’s the best way to get the most out of your traveling and
enjoy it more.”
Your vacation starts when you
board the plane, so indulge in a
decadent chocolate and a glass of red
wine, then relax with a great new album or a inspiring book. Cozy up in a
luxurious wrap and noise cancelling headphones, maybe even bring some
socks to keep your feet warm. Wipe off your makeup and slather on a rich
moisturizer for hands, face, and a good
lip balm, so upon touch down
you arrive fabulously.
Here are some holiday travel tips that everyone should know:
·
Stay clean. Germs abound when traveling, especially if you are on an airplane or cruise ship. Consider taking a Savvy Travelers kit (
available at Nordstrom.com)
along, which will help eliminate the germs and reduce the risks. The
kits are lightweight and offer sanitizing luxe sheets for hands,
counters, airplane trays and seats, hotel remote controls, and more.
·
Leave early. Lots
of people will be traveling on the same days and to many of the same
places. Leave early so there’s extra time and nobody will feel stressed
by being in a time crunch. It’s better to arrive at the airport early,
for example, than to be rushing through security and to the gate to make
it on time.
·
Pack lightly. Get
past the urge to pack more than what is needed, as extra items will
just slow everyone down. Pack just those things that are needed for the
trip and can be mixed and matched for multiple uses. Less packing will
usually also mean less to stress about. Also, if you do a lot of
shopping at your holiday destination (or receive a lot of gifts),
consider shipping them home. The small fee will be worth alleviating any
stress that trying to lug them back would create.
·
Have patience. Holiday
travel can test your patience, because you are often dealing with large
crowds and weather delays. Find ways to keep occupied if you are stuck
in an airport, for example. Take a deck of cards, ear plugs with calming
music, and a book to read, such as the new autobiography by Tina
Aldatz, “
From Stilettos to the Stock Exchange,”
a
compelling and heartwarming story of success against all odds. Be sure
to also pack some snacks in case there’s a delay in reaching the next
meal.
·
Pick your days wisely. If
possible, choose to travel on the non-peak days during the holiday
season. This will help ensure things are a little less busy, which
should make for a more enjoyable travel experience.
·
Keep it unwrapped. Those
taking presents along with them should avoid wrapping them ahead of
time if they are flying. Wrapped gifts may be unwrapped by security.
Rather, take flat packed gift bags and tissue and wrap them when you
arrive at your destination.
“Being prepared is half the battle of any travel that you will do
this holiday season,” says Margie Floris, co-founder of Savvy Travelers,
a marketing expert who also helped Foot Petals to become globally
successful. “Also, take a carry-on and you won't suffer when you arrive
at your destination and find your luggage lost or delayed. If you are
prepared then you are going to find it less stressful and you will end
up a savvy traveler!”
