Don’t be naughty. Be advised – hogging the overhead
bins, dominating the armrests and bringing garlic fries onboard might result in a lump of coal in
your stocking.

Take the fast laneSign up for CLEAR or TSA Pre-Check
and speed through security lines without taking o� your shoes, belts, or jingle bells. TripIt Pro members have access to CLEAR at a discounted rate.
Speaking of securityThe My TSA app can be handy for
checking security line wait times at the airport or questions about whether
you can pack a fruitcake in your checked bag.
Want a better seat?The Seat Tracker feature in TripIt Pro can notify you when a better seat on
your flight becomes available.
If Scrooge cancels your flight
TripIt Pro can help you quickly find alternate flights before the rest of the
madding crowd! Or, call the airline immediately to get rebooked –
it’s much faster than running to the customer service counter.
Stay healthyGet a flu shot before you fly
(good cheer isn’t the only thing people are spreading this season,) pack healthy snacks you can eat on-the-go, and make sure your
schedule includes plenty of time for sleep and exercise.
Pack light. Seriously, this is the number one travel tip of all time. PACK LIGHT.
Don’t be tempted to stu� one more thing in your sack. You won’t regret it.
Trust us.
Dress for success. Keep your belt in your carry on
and put it on after you get through security. Wear slip-on shoes. Wear socks. Santa hats are optional.
Zip up.A jacket with zippered pockets is handy. Put things like your wallet, keys, phone and loose change in
the zipped up pockets, rather than in the open bins. It’s easier to grab one thing and go, and harder for someone to slip your stu� into
their pocket.
Give yourself a gift.Keep track of all your travel points
and VIP benefits in one place with TripIt Pro; when your holiday travels are over, treat yourself to a
merry little reward!
Share with family and friends
Keep your inner circle in the loop about your travel plans by sharing your entire itinerary right through TripIt Pro. No more forwarding,
texting, or calling required. Now Mom will know exactly when your plane
lands, no matter the delays.
Making a list Making a master itinerary helps organize all your travel plans in
one place, putting everything you need at your fingertips.
Checking it twiceTripIt Pro members can use real-time
alerts on delays, cancellations, and gate changes to eliminate the
guesswork – and the stress.
Baby, it’s cold outside! Use a weather app to keep tabs on
winter storms that might delay flights. Allow extra time to get to the airport
or make connections.
Try to plan layovers in warmer cities where blizzards are less likely to blow.
Be nice! Holiday travel can be very stressful,
so people are extra appreciative if you can smile and show them a little
kindness. O�er to help someone with their bag. Switch seats so that family can sit together. O�er to buy a drink
for the person in front of you, maybe they’ll forgo reclining their
seat in return!
