5 Hassle-Free Holiday Travel Tips

Account for COVID-19

The biggest roadblock for travel this season is the COVID-19 pandemic. Flying internationally calls for PCR or antigen test requirements, and even traveling to other states within the U.S. hosts other COVID recommendations. 

Check out the CDC’s COVID-19 travel page for the latest requirements and travel safety measures to ensure you can reach your destination securely and on time. 

Make Your Reservations Early

Hotels, Airbnbs, and resorts tend to book up fast for the holidays. Travel agents recommend planning your holiday up to 6 months in advance, if possible. This will ensure you can stay somewhere near the heart of the action. 

If you’re looking to travel to the heart of New York City or nearby in the tri-state area, reach out to us for local recommendations. 

Add Extra Travel Time

Holiday travel accounts for traffic jams, increased airport security queues, and longer overall wait times. When planning your departure, add on extra time as a cushion to make sure you reach your destination on time. 

You should arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before a domestic flight and 3 hours before an international flight, although we recommend adding 30-60 minutes to these totals if you’re traveling before the holidays.

Plan for Downtime

While holiday parks, restaurants, hotels, and activities should be booked well in advance of your trip, many families make the mistake of not accounting for downtime during their vacation. 

Add in an hour or two every day to sit back and relax during your holidays. This also gives you a window to enjoy spontaneous activities or sights you may run into while at your destination.
