Holiday Travel
Holiday travel season is here and it's stressful for everyone!
Tips for airline travel:
- Bring lots of patience! The people behind the counter are just doing their job. Be kind. Be courteous. And remember everyone has a cell phone and you can end up going viral for all the wrong reasons!
- Don't bring wrapped gifts. The TSA has to check everything and your gifts may get unwrapped. Use gift bags with tissue paper instead.
- Make sure to carry all medications and required travel forms...like passports, visas...with you. DON'T put anything in your checked luggage that can't be replaced.
- TSA PreCheck doesn't always happen, even when your numbers are in your reservation. Has your enrollment expired? Does your name in your reservation match your PreCheck enrollment exactly? Did you give an incorrect TSA number? Find out before you go! Visit the folowing website to check your status:
Service Status | TSA Enrollment by IDEMIA (dhs.gov)
Wherever your travel takes you, we hope you have an amazing trip!

The main thing to know about travel is that rules/regulations/policies change.
