The U.S. State Department recently issued a worldwide travel alert until February 24th, 2016.
“Current information suggests that ISIL (aka Da’esh), al-Qa’ida, Boko Haram, and other terrorist groups continue to plan terrorist attacks in multiple regions. These attacks may employ a wide variety of tactics, using conventional and non-conventional weapons and targeting both official and private interests,” the State Department says. But what does this mean for you?

With the announcement that JetBlue is changing it’s policy when it comes to checked bags, the days of having your bag fly free is almost history. Not to mention the fact that the holidays are ripe for some airlines to jack-up the price you pay for a checked bag (I’m looking at you Spirit and Frontier).
Needless to say it’s not looking good for those of us trying to be frugal travelers. Southwest is now the only U.S. airline that lets your luggage fly free. That’s why, if you want to avoid that baggage checking fee, it’s time to learn how to pack in an efficient, and space saving way. With that said, there are several ways you can travel hack your carry-on. I recently wrote about the days with the best deals to buy airfare for the holidays. I encourage you to check it out if you haven’t. But if you’ve already bought your tickets for travel between Thanksgiving and New Years, congratulations! You are now a small fraction of the 71% of Americans who are expected to take a trip during the last 5 weeks of the year. Which is up about 6% from last year!
But are you going to one of the top 10 destinations for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s? It’s about that time of year when millions upon millions of people travel for the holidays. Unfortunately, when millions are traveling, many of those will likely be sick in some fashion or another. And if you plan on traveling you’ll likely run into a few of them (hopefully, only b/c you hear them, not b/c you feel them!). Which leads me to the question of the day: how do you avoid getting sick? |
