The holiday season is one of the busiest times for travel! Whether you’re heading back to your hometown to cherish moments with family or venturing somewhere new to celebrate, check out our holiday travel tips for a more enjoyable journey.
Arrive Early
Whether you’re flying through a smaller airport like CGI or a larger hub, arriving a couple of hours early is key. You’ll have time to check in, charge your devices, catch up on emails, or simply relax before unwrapping holiday chaos.
Pack Smart
If possible, travel light by opting for a carry-on to avoid the wait times that come with checked luggage. For any bags you do check, consider placing an AirTag inside for easy tracking. Be sure your items meet TSA regulations to avoid delays at security, and keep gifts in your carry-on so they’re with you in case your luggage is delayed.
Be Flexible
Avoid booking a flight on the same day as an important event, giving yourself extra time in case of delays. Traveling a day early can reduce stress and provide flexibility for any unexpected changes.
Explore Local Festivities
If you’re traveling to a new city, or even a town you’ve been to many times, explore unique holiday events for extra festive cheer! If you’re visiting Cape Girardeau this season, check out some upcoming holiday events from Visit Cape.
