Preparing for Thanksgiving Travel
by Joy Ross, Travel-Journeys.com
Choose the Best Days
The day before Thanksgiving is the busiest
travel day of the year, closely followed by
the sunday after the big day when travelers
tear themselves away from the leftovers
and football to make the journey home.
Avoid these days by ying out on Monday
or Tuesday or even Thanksgiving morning
to avoid the dreaded wednesday travel rush. when you’re ready to head home, take ight on Friday when the masses have moved on from the airports to the shopping centers to score the best holiday deals. The crowds pick up again on saturday, reaching a critical peak on sunday, before leveling out on Monday.
travel Light
As most airlines are charging for checked bags, it’s a good idea to pack light and carry-on your bag. But keep in mind that your fellow travelers will all have the same idea and overhead space may be tight onboard. some Airlines now charge to carry-on luggage so be sure to check with the air- line’s website for their policy. keep in mind, if you are taking early Christmas presents they should not be wrapped, so security o cers can easily inspect them.
High-Tech Troubleshooting
Give yourself plenty of time to arrive at the airport early -- you’ll need the time for nding parking, TSA and to wait your turn for that necessary cup of co ee. But you can avoid some airport hassles by taking advantage of useful applications that can be used on your phones. Most airlines all have mobile websites where passengers can check in, con rm seats and keep track of their ight status. Most airports now have apps where you can check where the best restaurants are, stores and what is nearby your gate. Be sure your airline has all your information for mobile phone number and email address just in case of any last minute schedule change.
