Don’t let terrible drivers, secu- rity scanners and long lines at the airport get you down. Here are some tips to help you survive the holiday travel: Plan ahead Plan alternative trips if traffic makes your way home too overwhelming. Is there a scenic drive that might be longer but have less traffic? Pack snacks and drinks so you and your family will be fueled for the road trip. Break up a long drive by finding a few places to stop that will help keep the kids excited about the trip. If you’re flying, definitely get some food before you board the plane. Leave ex- tra time before flights to get through security and plan your flights to allow extra time between con- nections. Follow these flying tips When flying, make sure you check the airline’s re- strictions ahead of time for carry-on luggage and fees for checked bags. Avoid checking bags al- together if you can. You won’t have to wait for your luggage on the conveyor belt and you won’t have to worry about your things getting lost. If you do check luggage, make sure you have all your medi- cations, important docu- ments and maybe even a change of clothes in your carry-on in case your lug- gage does lost.

Ship gifts ahead of time or buy the gift that can’t go wrong: gift cards to a favorite store. Travel early or late in the day Flight statistics show that planes traveling ear- lier in the day have a bet- ter on-time performance. And if your flight is can- celed, you will have the option of taking a flight later in the day. Also, there will be fewer lines at secu- rity. Best time to hit the road?
