So, if you flew somewhere last year, this year is going to be 5.2 percent worse.
The busiest day: the Friday before Christmas.
Dont be the asshole.
it’s possible for you to also ship wrapped gifts.
Save yourself time and stress and send everything along ahead of time.
Be ready to pounce on that aisle spot the second it becomes available.
Check on Your Flight
Its winter.
Winter brings snow and snow brings delayed and canceled flights.
If youve already booked that flight, then youll want to double-check everything is going according to plan.
Apps like GateGurucan also be killer this time of year.
And double check the jot down of ticket you have before you head out.
Youre also almost definitely going to be flying in a middle seatbe ready to make some new friends.
The holidays are not the time for that.
Security, even that TSA Pre line, is going to take some time.
Give yourself that two-hour window (maybe even more if youre flying out of a particularly busy airport).
I lost it earlier this year but still carry arounda plug with a few slots for USB cables.
You want this freedomI promise.
Now is also the time to pack those backup batteries you have in your carry on.
Sure, youre fine now, but what about after your flight gets delayed for eight hours?
Be prepared for the worst and excited when you dont need what you brought.
Headphones Are Your Friend
Someone is going to be screaming on your flight.
It might be a baby.
It might be some ridiculous woman wearing a light-up sweater.
And when you do, call the airline while youre waiting in line to speak to a gate agent.
before you would have even made it to the front of the line.
Just because the plane is on the runway doesnt mean youre actually going to take off.
