4 Tips for Stress-free Traveling

Whether you’re traveling to New York for business, or headed to Cancun for your dream vacation, traveling from the airport should be a calm, stress-free experience. However, sometimes we forget important documents at home, pack our bags over the 50-pound limit, or, worst case scenario, miss our flight.

Follow these tips to avoid getting stuck in a sticky situation at the airport:

1.       Leave early – Many of the problems you get yourself into at the airport can be avoided if you leave early. It's recommended that you arrive at the airport 2 hours before a domestic flight and 3 hours before an international flight to provide enough time to check in, make it through security and find your gate. When you don’t give yourself enough time, you are more likely to feel anxious and rushed, which often leads to forgetting valuable things at home. If you leave behind travel essentials like your passport or license, you'll have to turn around and head back home. This could ultimately lead to a stressful travel experience and even missing your flight. It's best to have your bags packed the day before you leave so you won't have to rush around during the hours before your flight.

2.       Make copies of important documents – By making copies of important documents, such as your passport, travel information, and itinerary, you won't feel stressed if they get lost or misplaced. Scan all the documents you need and save them in a folder on your phone or in your email, where you can easily locate and access them. Also, print hard copies of all your documents and pack them in your carry-on. Once you get to your hotel you can store them in the safe.

3.       Pack light – Most airlines require travelers to pay an additional fee for checked bags that are over 50 pounds. To prevent this from happening, it's best to pack light. Only pack the essentials. You'll thank yourself when you have to lug your bags into the cab or bus and to wherever you'll be staying. The same goes for your carry-on bag. Choose a compact bag on wheels because you'll have to haul it around the airport and onto the plane.

4.       Choose the right airport parking service – If you'll be driving and parking your car at the airport, be sure you choose a reliable airport parking service. Nothing can ruin your travel experience more than having to wait an hour for a shuttle to take you to the airport.
