Top 10 Winter Travel Tips
Are you planning a winter holiday in North America or Europe? Whether you’re staying at the best New York hotels, you still may face travel delays with this season’s record snowfalls and temperatures. Not only delays, you could even encounter accidents abroad.
The American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) has come up with great tips for worry-free winter travel.
Here are ASTA’s top 10 Winter Travel Tips:
1. Plan ahead. “Waiting to the last minute always leaves a great deal of your trip up to happenstance.”
2.Leave at least an extra hour earlier. “Give yourself more time than usual in order to anticipate the peripheral delays that could occur. Remember to bring some reading material while you wait in the security line or at your departure gate. In cities with snow or ice, arrival delays can exceed two to three hours and de-icing procedures can take an hour before takeoff. ”
3.Steer clear of influenza. “Winter travel can be a frequent contributor to the cold and flu season, adding a miserable element to your travel stress. Before you leave, visit your doctor’s office to get the flu shot or nasal spray flu vaccine. Most germs will spread by contact, so wash your hands or use a hand sanitizer frequently.”
