…..With a little pre-planning, you can minimize the hassles — and survive the hazards — of the season.
Before you go
Pack smart: Surprisingly, Thanksgiving travel went fairly smoothly because most travelers heeded the latest security rules about liquids and gels. To reiterate, both are allowed in carry-on bags provided they comply with TSA’s 3-1-1 program: 3-ounce bottles (or smaller) in one 1-quart, zip-topped bag, and only one bag per person. Need more? Pack it in your checked luggage.
Pack light: Better yet, buy your necessities when you get where you’re going. With so many people checking luggage these days, airline baggage-handling systems are bursting at the seams, and baggage problems have skyrocketed. If there were ever a time to join the carry-on-only crowd, this is it.
Print your boarding pass: Sure, DIY boarding passes save the airlines money, but they can also spare you a major crisis if you’re delayed on your way to the airport. If you’re already checked in, you’ve got one less thing to worry about when the clock is running.
