TIPS FOR STRESS-FREE HOLIDAY TRAVEL

Wrap Gifts After You Arrive

Do not wrap gifts and packages when carrying them on board. All items carried on board are subject to inspection and may be unwrapped at the security checkpoint.

Check In Before You Arrive at the Airport

Use Web Check-In from 1 to 24 hours before your flight and print your boarding pass in advance. You can add passport information, change your seat assignment, sometimes upgrade to First Class, and print a receipt for your flight.  With some airlines you can also opt for Mobile Check-In or download a Mobile App and check in from your mobile device.

Plan for Extra Transportation Time to the Airport

Airport drives and parking lots can become very congested during holiday travel periods. Please allow extra time getting to and from the airport.

Travellers are encouraged to take a shuttle to the airport or park at a satellite parking lot nearby. Travellers should allow extra time for parking during busy holiday travel periods, as lots may be full.

Plan Extra Time For Baggage Check and Security Procedures

The ticket counters and security lines are very busy during the holiday travel season. Plan to arrive extra early and give yourself some breathing room to relax, rather than worry that you won't make it through the line in time.
