Tis the season, and along with the joy of family and friends may come stress. This is especially true if you have travel plans. Be it driving to your daughter’s house or flying cross country to see Mom, the hustle and bustle of travel can make even the calmest person crazy.
If you’re flying, there are some Transportation Security Administration (TSA) rules you‘ll need to know. You’ll also need to contend with crowds and possible weather delays. How do you navigate this and enjoy your trip?
Avoid Crowds at the Airport
Airports are packed during the holiday season. Do yourself a favor and splurge on lounge access. You'll be arriving two hours early for your flight. And instead of fighting for a seat in the crowd, you can sit quietly in a lounge.
