5 Travel Hacks to Close Out Your Summer!
Happy Monday!
Today's post is coming at ya hot from our Cincinnati owner, Paige!
Who loves to travel?
Adventure, relaxation, escape, exploration- travel DEFINITELY makes it to the top of my priorities list.
After traveling for a living as a Cruise Ship Performer for 5 years, I picked up a few tricks along the way to help make things more affordable, more efficient, and more enjoyable. Hope one of these helps you!
1. Schedule Your Year AROUND your Travel Dates
Easier said than done, I get it. But after the obvious dates are blacked out in your calendar (i.e. work things, weddings, holidays you need to be home for, etc). GET THAT VACATION ON THE CALENDAR! Otherwise- you'd be shocked how easy it is to "never have the time to travel".
2. Find a TRAVEL REWARDS CARD with GREAT Incentives
My personal fav? The Delta SkyMiles Amex
You do NOT have to fly Delta to earn points/miles, you get reimbursed for your TSA Pre-Check, get a free checked bag every flight, complimentary travel status boosts (hello First Class), you get a Companion Certificate (FREE FLIGHT FOR A FRIEND), once a year, and a HUGE bonus of 90,000 Miles in your first 3 months with the spending minimum. "Going into debt?!" No way. Use it for things like groceries, and going out to eat (which earn double miles), and pay it off as you use it! (I've already earned enough points to almost pay for a flight to Europe and Back!)
3. Double Bag Your Toiletries
Simple. But it's true. Nothing worse than opening your luggage to shampoo covered leggings. Yikes.
4. Check- In The Night Before!
NO ONE likes to wait in long check-in lines before their flight. To then have to wait all over again at security. Check-In the night before on the airline app. (And save even more time by having TSA Precheck for free!)
5. Ask a Friend!
Can't decide between travel destinations? Never been to an All-Inclusive before and need to know the tips and tricks specific to that location? Find a friend who has been there, done that, and schedule a coffee date! Hear all about their trip AND their tricks. (YES- email me. It's one of my favorite things to chat about! Haha!)
WHAT'S YOUR DREAM VACATION?!
Wherever you are going, whatever you are doing, ENJOY IT. Make the most of this summer. You deserve it!
