Tips for f stress-free f f family l vacation this March Break ( ) (NC)--With h the h children h ld out of f school h l for f March h Break, it seemed like a great idea to book a family trip. Now, faced with bags to pack, kids to entertain and unpredictable weather threatening to delay your travel plans, are you having second thoughts? Relax or at least think about how relaxed you'll be when you get to your destination! You may not be able to control the weather, but planning ahead will help you manage any travel hiccups so you can enjoy a stress-free holiday. As a travel enthusiast, TD Credit Cards Associate Vice President, Stacie Pearson, has some experience with reducing travel stress and offers her top tips for travelers this March Break: Drive to the airport. Avoid worrying if your family and your luggage will all squeeze into one airport limo or taxi. Set your own schedule and drive your own car to a secure and convenient airport parking lot. Keep in mind that some travel credit cards will let you redeem points for airport parking so that you can include it in the total cost of your vacation. Take the earliest flight g p possible. Try y to book a flight as early in the day as possible and avoid the last flight out. Delays tend to happen as the day goes on, so booking an early flight limits the chances of getting stuck at the airport. Don't lose a day of vacation because your luggage is lost. Protect yourself by booking your trip on a credit card that has Delayed and Lost Baggage Insurance. Just to be safe, make sure your carryon includes destination musthaves, like a swimsuit and sandals, so that if your luggage is delayed for a few hours, you can head to the beach while you wait. Avoid surprises by budgeting for all costs. While big ticket items are easy to calculate, costs including airport transfers and taxes often get overlooked. Many travelers experience the pinch of unexpected costs such as weight restrictions. Consider using a credit card that offers travel reward points that you can use for more than just the plane ticket airport parking, taxes, even a massage at the resort's spa. Being able to offset these costs with points will help to significantly reduce your y total travel expenses. p BE PART OF SOMETHING SPECIAL... JOIN THE GIRLS OF SUMMER.
