replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis A1: Stay home. Everyone else is traveling and the prices spike accordingly. You only travel the holidays if you HAVE TO travel holidays. #TravelSkills

A1. If Iām home it means Iām not working! When youāre traveling home for the holidays, donāt forget that the people working at the airport and the crew on your flight arenāt celebrating with their family this year so they can help get you safely to your destination. #TravelSkills https://t.co/Fh5isC03m3
replying to @united @united TIP Due to the prevalence of ride-sharing, airport parking lots are filling up less frequently. However, always leave a big cushion of time to find parking before flying during peak season. #TravelSkills
replying to @united @united TIP One way to minimize stress is to pre-arrange parking at the airport or a ride with a dependable car service #TravelSkills
replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis How to minimize airport stress over the holidays? Give yourself the gift of @clear this Christmas! #TravelSkills
A2: Plan in advance, avoid top travel days and super busy airports #UnitedForTheHolidays #TravelSkills
replying to @travelskills @travelskills A1 Arrive early and be active while waiting for your flights. I love to walk around the terminal the entire time, especially before a long flight. That way I don't get as restless on the flight. I might be lucky enough to even fall asleep! #TravelSkills #UnitedfortheHolidays
replying to @Travelteaandme @Travelteaandme @ZachHonig @thepointsguy Nice pic! Don't forget to use the #TravelSkills hashtag so others in the chat can see and we get credit.
A2 If you must fly, allow plenty of time before a flight and between connections in order to have cocktails. They don't call it "holiday spirit" for nothing. (Avoiding Spirit Airlines, incidentally, also helps reduce stress.) #TravelSkills
A2. Minimize airport stress? Get away from crowded gates and find a quiet space (or empty gate). Make sure you're getting alerts, just in case. #TravelSkills

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis A2 Arrive early, #travel light, and try to channel the spirit of the season. @United hub @Dulles_Airport is looking festive this month. @CharlesMcCool #IAD #travel #travelskills
replying to @united @united A2 Keep an eye on the weather at both your origin and destination. You can also use the United app to see where your flight is coming fromā¦and if itās on time. #TravelSkills
Q2 Best way to minimize airport stress when traveling over the holidays? #UnitedForTheHolidays #TravelSkills
A2 #TravelSkills Arrive early. I flew out of Amsterdam on Xmas Eve. I arrived at 7 AM for a 10:30 flight, but I avoided the crowds. Also have an app that tells you your flight status & I have them send me texts. That was the longest Xmas Eve Iāve ever spent.
replying to @LandLopers @LandLopers I'm sorry I'm missing this week's #TravelSkills chat but here are the lights I saw last night in Cambria, California! Wishing you all a happy holiday chat! āŗļøāŗļøš https://t.co/T5res3eZGH

TIP Download the latest United app so you can receive a push notification when your flight starts boarding. #UnitedForTheHolidays #TravelSkills
Since I was stuck in line for 3 hours, Iād recommend getting early, and realizing youāre not the only one whoās in the fox hole. A lot of airports will even call you to the front if youāre flight is leaving soon. Also, strike up a conversation to pass the time. #TravelSkills https://t.co/glNzKJa1wo

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A2 I think the best way to minimize stress is to simply be prepared. Something as simple as downloading the @united app on your phone before your trip can really help make the entire airport experience go much more smoothly. #travelskills https://t.co/kZvPl4jCNX

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A2 Spend on āpremiumā amenities such as PreCheck, lounge access, etc. Most holiday travelers are infrequent fliers so having access to those premium services will isolate you from the masses, which will make the travel experience less crowded and stressful. #TravelSkills
replying to @travelskills @travelskills A2. Leave plenty of time when booking connections so you aren't stressed when flights are delayed #UnitedForTheHolidays #TravelSkills
A2: Beer. Lots and lots of beer.
