Good Things Come in Package Deals<br \/>\n<\/strong>Give yourself the gift of savings this year, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/vacations\/?WT.tsrc=orbitzBlog\/&amp;GCID=78142\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">package up<\/a> your airfare and hotel reservations. Add a car rental to the mix, and travelers can save an average of $500 on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/vacations\/?WT.tsrc=orbitzBlog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Orbitz<\/a>. The more you bundle, the bigger the savings. Who said good things come in small packages?<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Seize the (Mon)days<br \/>\n<\/strong>If you\u2019re booking airfare, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/flights\/?WT.tsrc=orbitzBlog\/&amp;GCID=78142\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best prices<\/a> are typically found departing on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday and returning Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Monday to Monday trips are usually a good bet. Also, for shorter trips, try to fly out during the week instead of over a weekend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Flex your scheduling muscles<br \/>\n<\/strong>Being flexible can pay off. If your holiday schedule allows, book flights\u00a0on less popular travel days such as Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year&#8217;s Eve, or New Year&#8217;s Day. If you don\u2019t mind scheduling a trip on a popular holidays, they often have the cheapest fares.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Celebrate Christmas in July\u2026in December<\/strong><br \/>\nConsider celebrating the holidays in a tropical location. Prices during the off-season\/shoulder season are much more reasonable and you get to really see and enjoy your destination without the crowds.

Behold the mighty scarf<br \/>\n<\/strong>Whether you use it as a blanket, wear it as a fashion accessory, or roll it up like a pillow, a cozy scarf is a versatile travel item for holiday travel. Besides keeping you warm on chilly airplanes, it can also dress up just about any outfit\u2014taking you from day to night in a pinch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Don\u2019t be iron-ic<br \/>\n<\/strong>Technically, this is an <em>un<\/em>packing hack. Instead of plugging in the iron and setting up the ironing board, just hang wrinkled clothing in the bathroom while you take a hot shower. Your clothes will turn out wrinkle-free from the steam.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Pack a snack<br \/>\n<\/strong>Airplanes are one of the few places on earth where they can charge double for food that\u2019s half as tasty. Pack your own snacks in container and then wrap it in a tea towel. The towel gives the pack an extra layer of protection\u2014plus, doubles as a napkin!<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Weigh your options<br \/>\n<\/strong>Save yourself time and money at the check-in counter by weighing your checked bag ahead of time. You don\u2019t even need a luggage scale. Just step on a bathroom scale with and without your suitcase and subtract the difference. Tip: If it\u2019s over the limit, try wearing a few extra items instead.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/AirtTravel_hacks.500.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31064\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/AirtTravel_hacks.500.jpg\" alt=\"Air travel hacks\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/AirtTravel_hacks.500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/AirtTravel_hacks.500-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>AIR TRAVEL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Put a bow on it<\/strong><br \/>\nFlying to visit family? Instead of wasting precious space in your suitcase, send presents ahead of time by purchasing online and shipping to your family member&#8217;s home. That way they&#8217;ll be waiting when you get there, and you&#8217;ll have instant gift-wrap, thanks to the U.S. Postal Service. All you need is a carryon-friendly bow to top it all off.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Water, water, everywhere (except through TSA)<\/strong><br \/>\nYou know the TSA rules\u2014no liquids under 3.4 ounces unless medically necessary (like medicine or contact solution). So you won&#8217;t get a bottle of water past the security line, but you can always pack an empty one and refill it at a drinking fountain for free. We don\u2019t know about you, but we\u2019d practically die of thirst before paying $6 for a tiny bottle of water at the kiosk. It\u2019s the principle of the matter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11. Make yourself comfortable<\/strong><br \/>\nSave your cute lace-up, buckled shoes for the holiday party and slip on comfortable flats for the airport. No one wants to be the one holding up the security line prying off their shoes, so go slip-on and avoid having to endure the eye roll from the lady waiting behind you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>12. You\u2019ve got the power<\/strong><br \/>\nWi-fi is becoming more common on airplanes, but what\u2019s the point if your battery conks out mid-flight? Use a universal portable power pack to extend the life of your phone, laptop or tablet. Also, outlets can be scarce at airports, so save yourself the trouble and bring a splitter so you can charge multiple devices at once.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/RoadTrip_hacks.500.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/RoadTrip_hacks.500.jpg\" alt=\"Road trip hacks\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/RoadTrip_hacks.500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/RoadTrip_hacks.500-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>ROAD TRAVEL HACKS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>13. Safety first<br \/>\n<\/strong>The American Automobile Association predicts that over 43 million Americans will travel to celebrate Thanksgiving. That\u2019s a lot of people! If you get stuck, be sure to pack a safety kit, with road trip essentials like an ice scraper, tow rope, blankets, flashlights, a bag of sand or rock salt, and a first aid it. It also helps to have spare change for tolls.<\/p>\n<p><strong>14. You cruise, you lose<br \/>\n<\/strong>Here\u2019s a handy tip if you\u2019ll be driving this season. If you\u2019re behind the wheel in inclement weather, avoid using cruise control. This setting can make it easy to space out and delay your reaction time. Those precious seconds could make all the difference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>15. Ice, ice baby<br \/>\n<\/strong>De-icing your car is the worst. Who wants to get stuck outside, scraping off the car while youfingers feel like they\u2019re about to fall off? While your car warms up, just spritz your windshield with de-icing fluid. Bottles are inexpensive, and you can pick them up at any local hardware store.<\/p>\n<p><strong>16. Say no to salty<br \/>\n<\/strong>Avoid giving kids salty snacks in the car. Follow our logic here: salt makes kids thirsty. Thirsty kids drink more water. More water means more bathroom breaks. The less time you spend at rest stops, the more time you can spend on the road. So opt for fresh fruit, cereal, or raisins instead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>17. Change your tune<br \/>\n<\/strong>There are only so many times a person can hear Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer before they go a little crazy. Make a holiday playlist for your holiday road trip, and include songs that aren\u2019t festive as well. That way, when you\u2019re sick of everything on the radio, you\u2019ll have a backup option ready to go.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"nc_pixel\" src=\"https:\/\/pixel.newscred.com\/px.gif?key=YXJ0aWNsZT1iOTUzNWQyMTc4N2Y0ZDIwYzM1OWZkZGZkOGMxNjE1OA==\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travel right, from booking to packing to flying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":87,"featured_media":30503,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[331,898,2220],"class_list":["post-30498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-airlines","tag-road-trip","tag-travel-tips"],"acf":{"api_active":null,"api_title":null,"api_excerpt":null,"api_featured_image":null,"api_lob":null},"posts_api_cpm_point":[{"name":"","description":"","thumbnail":"","address":"United States","latitude":"37.09024","longitude":"-95.71289100000001","icon":"\/images\/icons\/marker.png"}],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>17 holiday travel hacks to save your sanity | Orbitz<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"we\u2019ve gathered our favorite travel hacks to help you save time, money and your sanity this season.
