You’re not alone if you’ve made some travel plans for this upcoming Memorial Day. Over 30 million Americans are projected to travel somewhere by car for the holiday weekend, with another couple million heading to airports to catch a flight. 

Don’t get stuck in the crowds – follow these top 5 tips for travelling for Memorial Day.

Choose Your Travel Time Wisely

Year after year, it’s been shown that the worst travel times for Memorial Day weekend are:

• Thursday, between 3:30-5:30 pm
• Friday from 12:00-6:00 pm
• Mid-day on Saturday and Sunday
• Monday from 12:00-6:00 pm

If your schedule permits, try to head out a couple of hours before or after these peak traffic times. You’ll be sure to get to your destination on time without a traffic headache.

Head to the Store the Week Before

We always seem to realize we’re missing a few things the day we’re leaving the house. Avoid the stress and plan out what you’re packing a week before travelling. While it may take you a few minutes, you’ll be able to go out and buy any missing items before the crowds roll in and your schedule gets swamped.

The earlier you pack, the easier your departure the day of.

Find the Best Airline Deals on These Days

It’s no surprise that flights on Memorial Day weekend skyrocket in price on Thursday night and Friday morning flights. The same is said for return flights Monday morning. 

If you’re travelling by plane, consider flights on a different day. If you can take a half-day at work Wednesday, you could save hundreds by scheduling your Memorial Day flights from Wednesday-Sunday instead of Thursday-Monday. This is a great way to avoid crowds and save some money if you have flexibility at work.

Make Your Reservations Early

You’ve got the airfare and hotel set, but have you made your recreational reservations early? These include restaurant reservations or reserving tickets for theme parks, concerts, or museums that can be bought beforehand. 

Not only will you have your visit guaranteed, but you might also get a break on some ticket prices by buying them online.
