Tips To Survive Holiday Travel

Are you planning on traveling this holiday season? Are you prepared to deal with the massive headache and stress that will accompany you? I’m not going to sugar coat it; travel will suck this time of the year. The time with your family and friends is well worth it.

Here are tips for surviving holiday travel:

Make the most of the airport bar: You’re already stuck at the airport, so relax and enjoy what little shops an airport does have to offer. Have a drink, watch some of the tube, just relax.

Create a new persona for yourself: Give yourself a new name and profession and talk to the passenger next to you. It's fun to pretend sometimes, you’ll never see these people ever again.

Do not check your luggage: Have you seen “Meet The Parents”? Checking luggage always seems like it’s a bad idea.

If you're going to someone's house, bring something: Do not show up empty-handed.

Plan your trip two months in advance: At this point you may be out of luck, but lesson learned. Plan ahead next year!
