102

When we are at the office, we cannot wait for the holidays. We plan to go somewhere, have a good time and be with our families. But wait, there is still a problem! Not only your family wants to go on a holiday. At one point you realize that you cannot find a hotel because everything is booked, there are huge traffic jams, when you go to the beach you hardly find a space you can lay your towel. In turns out that your holiday is actually a nightmare and you wish you had stayed at home. Do not worry, there are still some things you can do for your next holiday travel. Harry up, the Easter holidays are almost here.

  1. Avoid peak travel dates

If you want to avoid traffic jams or lack of seats in the bus/plane then change your travel date. Go earlier. Take one day off from work. This way your ticket can be cheaper and you will save time waiting in lines.

  1. Book early

If you forget to book, you may end up in the worst hotel ever. For the Christmas holiday, for example, there are places which you have to book at least 6 months earlier. Well, if you do not want to plan your holidays so ahead, just try booking 1 month before your vacation. You will have just enough time to do it.

  1. Know your airports

If you have a connecting flight at some airport you do not know, there is a pretty good chance you will get lost in there. Just imagine that your flight is late and you have only 10 minutes of your connecting flight. You will run around like crazy and you can miss it. However, if you do your homework beforehand, you will be safe. Just check the airport website and find out where exactly you have to go.

  1. Leave early

Make sure you have enough time to go to the airport in time. This means that in most cases you have to leave early. You will miss all the traffic jams and you will be able to find a place to park your car. Do not go to extremes, however. You do not have to sleep there the night before.

  1. Travel early or late in the day

Speaking of airports, this is also what you should have in mind. You have probably noticed that airports are empty at night, since people prefer to be at home sleeping. So, if you want to avoid crowds at the airport, travel at night.

  1. Pack wisely

In the past you could carry a lot of different things in your luggage but now there are some regulations. If you do not want to have any problems with security just put all your liquid cosmetics in your luggage before checkpoint. And you will be safe.
