10 Tips to Survive Revenge Travel
Travel after the first 2 years of COVID is actually been deemed ‘revenge travel’ due to the staggering rate of travelers. Flights are delayed, baggage is lost and rental cars are scarce. Here are our top 10 tips to help you survive (and still enjoy) travel!
Tip #1: Consider VIP FastTrack/Airport Greeter – This will help you make it through customs much faster, or they can assist you on arrival at the gate.
Tip #2: Hire a Private Driver From the Airport – Don’t rely on taxis and ride share services. You’ll avoid long lines and you won’t have to deal with local currency upon landing.
Tip #3: Get travel insurance – Travel insurance will cover trip delays, interruptions, and lost baggage. With so many extra variables, you won’t regret it.
Tip #4: Check Your Passports Well in Advance – Be absolutely sure your passports are valid and won’t expire for at least 6 months beyond your trip dates.
Tip #5: Packing, Luggage and Air Tags – In a time when lost luggage is occurring at record rates, Air Tags are invaluable! Packing light and just bringing a carry on is even better, however that may not always be possible. If it’s not, make sure your carry on has 3 days of essentials strategically packed.
Tip #6: Try to avoid flying through major hubs – Europe, (London, Amsterdam), New York and Atlanta have been especially difficult this summer.
Tip #7: Get to the Airport Early – Especially when flying international, we recommend arriving at the airport 3 hours prior to your flight.
Tip #8: Get an Airport Lounge Pass – A lounge pass will allow you to relax comfortably in the airport. Gates Fill up fast and you could be there a while.
Tip #9: Book all dining reservations in advance – Don’t wait to make reservations! When we are planning concierge services for our clients, we make dining reservations for our clients immediately after booking hotels.
Tip #10: Be kind and Tip Well – Remember how hard everyone is working, and be flexible when the unexpected happens. Traveling can still be full of fun and joy even though it’s more complicated right now.
