If you’re triple-vaccinated and medical experts in your region have green-lit air travel, then it’s safe for you to take to the skies again. It may have been a little while since your last trip, and things may have changed.
You can expect some delays as security checks to ensure people’s vaccination status, so come a little earlier. However, some of the changes to air travel are good! Let’s check out a few new ways that people can fly in style and save money.
Drive Yourself to the Airport
It used to be that people took cabs or Ubers to the airport because airport parking was prohibitively expensive. Now, all you need to do is make an airport parking reservation online with a company that utilizes lots adjacent to the airport.
Upon arrival, show your reservation to the attendant. They’ll show you where to board the free shuttle to your terminal. Such an approach to commuting lets you enjoy the familiarity and convenience of being in your own car and liberates you from having to need to wait for a driver when you’re hurrying to make a flight.
Look for a platform that lets you collect reward points, so you can make this cost-effective measure even cheaper.
Be Comfortable and Cool
Before, airline passengers either dressed in sweatpants for comfort or in stiffer formalwear when they needed to attend a meeting or hit the town upon landing. There’s no need to pick between style and comfort in today’s commuter clothes, which use fabrics filled with technology that performs in some incredible ways.
For example, imagine chinos that stretch or a stretchy button-down shirt that wicks moisture and resists wrinkles. Sit down for hours on the plane in comfort, then deboard dressed for success without needing a wardrobe change.
Tactical Packing
Some packing hacks involve rolling up your clothes instead of folding them, so they take up less space in your luggage and don’t wrinkle. But selecting the right type of bags to bring can save you money.
Only check-in luggage if you absolutely must, if you need more during your trip than your carry-on has capacity for. Bypassing check-in saves you money, and it also means the airline can’t accidentally send your bags to the wrong destination.
You’ll touch down with your belongings, and you won’t even have to wait at the luggage carousel with everyone else on the plane for your bags to arrive. Beat the rush for a cab or the subway and start your trip right away by using some clever packing tactics.
Just make sure you aren’t carrying any prohibited items in your carry-on, or they may get confiscated at security.
Travel is something people usually ache to do, and being away from people during the pandemic has only sharpened our desire for a trip. So long as doing so is safe, keep the above tips in mind to save some money on a smooth and stylish trip.
