A few words can describe what it’s like to get delayed on a trip. Annoying. Inconvenient. Time-consuming. Those are words no one wants associated with their vacation. Anything can happen to cause a delay. Your plane can arrive late or weather conditions can deteriorate. First, keep your cool. Delays can be compounded by frustration. Next, determine your options. Thankfully, there are ways to survive a travel delay and still enjoy your vacation.
Traveling often means flying. There are many perks to flying like getting to your destination quicker. But, there are also some draw backs to taking a plane. One of the most prevalent draw backs to flying is the stress that we feel making our way through the airport, both during departure and arrival. However, there are a few hacks that everyone can benefit from when navigating through the airport. Check them out!
Many of us have been glued to news media outlets the past few weeks tracking the progression of the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak. The possibility of a pandemic brings travelers to consider what this means for trips they’ve already booked and the ones they are considering planning in the future. If you find yourself in either of these categories, we’ve come up with a few steps you should take moving forward.
Traveling is something that most of us look forward to all year long. But, with traveling, comes the stress of it all. Packing, transit times, crowded places, and many more obstacles stand in our way of having a good time. Nevertheless, we grin and bare it until we arrive at one of our favorite safe havens, or even a new place we’ve been dreaming about exploring for years. To add to the list of things that we must consider and prepare for before our travels, the REAL ID act final deadline is quickly creeping up on us. Starting October 1, 2020 in order to fly within the U.S., citizens of the country as well as foreign residents must show REAL ID compliant identification when boarding an aircraft.
Before we travel, no matter the length or destination of our trip, we plan. In fact, we try to anticipate all the things that may happen or may go wrong, so that we are as prepared as possible. In a lot of cases making that extra copy of your itinerary or bringing your more comfortable hiking sneakers rather than the new ones works out in our favor. But some things are still beyond our control. In the wake of both Thomas Cook and Wow Air filing for bankruptcy, air travelers need to be prepared for anything. We want to make sure, no matter where you plan to travel this year, your travel investments are protected.
Not every travel protection plan is created equal. At first glance, it’s everyone’s inclination to choose the 25-dollar plan over the 125-dollar plan. Big savings initially, however, do not necessarily equate to big savings in the long term! If you’re seeking extensive coverage for your next trip, it’s important to stop getting stuck on the initial price tag and start assessing plans based on your travel coverage needs.
Truth being, it’s tough to anticipate what types of travel misfortunes you will encounter on your trip. Choosing an extensive travel protection plan from Travel Insured, however, is one way to safeguard you and your travel investment. Our Worldwide Trip Protector is an extensive coverage option while our Worldwide Trip Protector Plus is among our most extensive coverage options. Here are a few of the benefits of choosing one of these plans:
Cancun, Miami, Daytona Beach, Montego Bay, Myrtle Beach…spring break typically isn’t stamped with originality. In this day and age of immersive, off the beaten path travel, wouldn’t it be a breath of fresh air to re-brand the stereotypical spring break getaway?
Here are a few unconventional spring break spots that might transform your plans from ordinary to extraordinary.
Studies find the benefits of leisure travel are far beyond exploring new places. There are actual proven health benefits of leisure travel that may convince you to pack your suitcase sooner than later.
2019 is upon us and that means a whole new year of travel trends. 2019 also means a whole new set of travel predictions, so let’s get forecasting:
Travel anxiety is becoming more and more common in the 21st century world. Fear of flying is one of the most prevalent travel anxieties, with 1 in every 6 adults suffering from “aviophobia.” Surprisingly, even 35 percent of airline crew members – which includes flight attendants and pilots – have some degree of fear of flying. Not all fears of flying are created equal; some people are afraid of enclosed spaces, alarming noises, heights, crashes, crowds, lack of control, or terrorism.
The fear of flying can be difficult to shake, despite airplanes being the second safest mode of mass transportation in the world. Believe it or not, the only safer “modes of mass transportation” are the escalator and elevator. The chance that you’ll be a victim of an airplane accident is about 1 in 11 million, whereas the chance you’ll be involved in a fatal car crash is 1 in 5000. By far, the most dangerous part of your next flight is the drive to the airport!
It seems like the saying, “you have nothing to fear but fear itself” is quite true.
Whatever the severity, here are some ways to beat down your flying fears:
