Cut Your Holiday Travel Stress
Book early
Set your travel plans as early as possible to get cheaper deals and more flexible schedules.

Travel light
Even if you’re checking bags, consider shipping gifts and non-essentials ahead of time. You’ll cut down luggage hassle and how much you have to drag around.
Plan for delays
