| HOLIDAY Airline Travel Tips
Holiday Airline Travel Tips
with Shelley Waugh


With flights to catch, security lines to endure and delays to tolerate, making it to your destination during the holiday season can be overwhelming.

Here are some tips to help ease the anxiety.

For procrastinators - Book last-minute
Typically we encourage travellers to book flights between 60 and 90 days before an anticipated date of departure. Data shows that airlines this year were perhaps a bit too aggressive with pricing early on, leaving seats still to be filled.

Lucky for procrastinators, flash sales are popping up left and right and – better yet – the best is possibly yet to come. Start scanning now, as December bookers could save the most on holiday flights.
 
For gift givers - Shop online
In an era of ever-increasing baggage fees, it’s best to show up to the airport with as little to check as possible. Lucky for those with long wish lists, nearly everything nowadays can be found – and shipped – thanks to the Internet. No matter the choice, it means less to get through security and less on your credit card.
 
For mile collectors - Save the miles
Miles get tricky around the holidays, especially since “low points” seats for the most popular travel dates sell out even before the Halloween.

There’s that, plus some airlines implement the never-popular blackout dates. Accumulated miles, whether through an airline or a credit card, are used most economically either when travel plans are booked early or a traveller has flexibility with their itinerary.

Our advice: Save the points during the holidays unless you snag a great deal.
 
Final thoughts
Invest in hand sanitizer - The most wonderful time of the year is also the most sniffly time of the year for many travellers. Keep that in mind before you head for the airport, and pack plenty of hand sanitizer to help fend off germs.

There’s nothing worse than realizing during ascent that you’re stuck in a cabin full of recycled air with a sickly seat-mate. Fill your prescriptions, drink lots of water, wash your hands often to guarantee your holidays will be spent both joy- and health-filled.
 
Expect delays
Flight delays are pretty much a guarantee this time of year, whether its crowded airports, bad weather or mechanical problems causing them. There’s a way to plan ahead so that getting stuck behind infrequent flyers and families of five at airport security doesn’t cause anxiety.

First, avoid connections if you can when booking, even if it means paying a little more. If a connection is a must, then ensure there’s a long enough layover in case your first flight is late to land.

On the day of travel, get to the airport earlier – way earlier – than you typically would.

Worst-case scenario: You spend extra time with your Kindle or bring a good book at the departure gate or just relax.
