Parties, gift wrappings, and family gatherings characterize holidays. They are also a time meant to spend, create memories with friends, and a time to feel peace with gratitude for blessings from the previous year. Traveling during the holidays can sometimes be very pricey and stressful. It is better to avoid them, and sometimes that is not possible; we have discussed some tips that could help you confidently survive the holiday season.

We all hope for a smooth, stress-free trip, but being safe than sorry is always better. In case of cancellations, you should never panic but instead, have a backup plan for some alternative flight.

Packing in just a carry-on pack can be cheaper and faster and frees you of the mentality of keeping track of so many things or the possible loss of your bag at the airline. If you check your luggage, ensure that all your medication, important documents, and clothes to change are in your carry-on in case your luggage gets lost.
