You May Need to Borrow Santa's Sleigh

It's 90* outside, your sunburnt and the last thing on your mind is the holidays. This should not be the case! Unless you book your flights soon you may need to borrow Santa's sleigh to get to your destination. With many carriers cutting flights and seats travel during the holidays is becoming a luxury. It is only July and there are not many seats left on flights during the holiday season. Here are a few quick tips for your holiday travel.

- Book as soon as you know your travel dates.

- Do not wait for the price to go down, gas keeps increasing and your flight may sell out while you wait.

- Always purchase travel insurance! If a carrier goes bankrupt they are not obligated to give you a refund.

- You will have to pay for your checked baggage so make sure you account for it in your budget.

- Pack very lightly to avoid paying for more than one bag or bags over 50lbs.

- If you are cruising, arrange to arrive to the port city a day early to ensure you do not miss your flights or loose your baggage.

- Always call the night before to confirm your flights and make sure there are no schedule changes.
