Traveling during the holiday can get stressful. Here are the tips that will help you to make it easier

Make a list of things you need to do a week before you leave and check things off

To counter the dry air on the flights, bring along an empty water bottle (fill it after you go through security) and a small pouch with lip balm and travel-size moisturizers.

Each airline has different requirements, for the boarding process or,  seat upgrades. It is best to know all of it before reaching the airport, so you won't be taken off guard

To avoid any confusion, install the airline app, which will let you know about gate changes, flight delays, or cancellations sooner and allow you to find quick alternates

It is best to reach the airport two and three hours before departure for domestic and international flights respectively. In case you arrive too early, you can always explore airport shops and lounges

Keep a playlist of your favorite songs ready so you can play it during the flight or whenever you feel bored

Bring some snacks or some homemade food as an alternative to the pricey airport offerings

It’s also good to carry extra medications, a change of clothes, a toothbrush, and a phone-charging cable, just in case you need it

Take some extra time before the trip to clean your home, and keep some easy-to-prepare food in the freezer for a warmer welcome return
