It makes sense….

First, avoid peak travel days. When planning your trip be sure to arrange travel dates at least two days before and after holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's.

Traveling with little ones can be a stressful be sure to secure a non-stop flight or the flight involving the fewest connections or stops. This will prevent you from the possibility of flight delays or air traffic problems.

It is best to aim for morning flights, which tend to be delayed less often then evening flights. If you do experience delays it will be much easier to entertain a traveling family while the airport is in full operating hours.

Most flights during the holidays are overbooked, it is critical to check in early. Domestic travelers should arrive two hours prior to departure, while international travelers should arrive at least three hours in advance. Although this may seem like a long hall, spending a few hours in the airport is much more fun then missing your flight by ten minutes.

If you have not shipped your gifts and packages to your destination ahead of time, do not gift wrap them before your flight.

Most important, keep a positive attitude - but also be prepared for setbacks. Airline delays may happen, be sure to bring extra water bottles, snacks, toys, books,blanket, portable DVD, extra diapers, a change of clothes.

Another great tip is to bring a new surprise, a toy,rattle etc. that you child has not seen before. This will come in handy mid-trip/mid-meltdown – something new and exciting will keep them entertained or distracted longer. Planning ahead will ensure a stress free holiday travel.
