Airplane Travel Tips
If you’re embarking on any form of airplane travel, try to sign up for Clear (and TSA Pre-Check) ASAP—you can actually enroll in Clear in the airport, if you’re fine with the last-minute route, but it’ll help you skip some of those long lines. Second, make sure to bring a water bottle, plenty of snacks and some reading material, along with chargers so you don’t have to worry about low batteries.
Packing Tips
Now, onto the packing tips. This isn’t the kind of weekend getaway you want to overpack for; keep it simple and stick with the basics that you know you’re going to wear, and don’t overstuff that suitcase. Speaking of suitcases, do your very best not to bring a checked bag—this isn’t the weekend to risk any issues in your travel plans. Here are some essentials to include in your carry-on:
Lightweight Travel Bag
Compression Packing Cubes
Clear Toiletry Bag
Comfy Boots
Conclusion
By following these simple tips, you’ll be well-prepared for a stress-free Thanksgiving travel experience. Remember to stay organized, pack smart, and don’t forget to sign up for Clear and TSA Pre-Check to save time at the airport. Happy travels!
