Planning Is the Key To Successful Summer Family Travel

airline tickets
to visit family out of state or is headed on a
cross-country air and driving adventure, summer is the season for traveling
with loved ones. Once school lets out, children must be entertained and a
family vacation is the perfect solution. To make summer travel enjoyable for
all family members, take a proactive approach.

If the family will be flying to the destination, look online
for discounted airline tickets. With
fewer flights and an improving economy, planes should be fuller this summer so
booking at least six weeks in advance is recommended if the family wants to sit
together. A Saturday morning flight is often less expensive and the first
flight of the day typically departs on schedule.

Airlines like United are no longer pre-boarding families that
include young children so account for this by locating play areas with the
airport or purchasing a day pass to the airline lounge. According to new TSA
regulations, children need not remove their shoes at airport security
checkpoints. In addition, each ticketed passenger is permitted to carry on a
personal item and bag. Strollers are checked at the gate and do not count
toward this allowance.

For a vacation that includes driving, the route should be
planned advance, with short stops every few hours to break up the trip.
Families should get on the road early to avoid traffic and have more content
young passengers. Snacks, games, DVDs, and special travel-related duties will
keep children occupied during the journey.

Gasoline prices typically increase during weekends and
around holidays so drivers should plan their tank fill-ups to save money.
Filling up mid-week and avoiding the day before a holiday to top off the tank
will save cash. Airline travelers should click here to find a discount airline ticket for each member
of the family.
