Prepping for Holiday Travel Chaos & Expenses

This holiday season is going to be a difficult one to truly prepare for if you're planning on flying. With the government in shutdown, and no sign of it opening back up at the moment, you are going to face delays and cancellations as there aren't enough workers at any given airport. There are threats of shutting down flights altogether, so if you can get to your destination any other way, this might be the year to go that route.

How do you travel cheaper during one of the most expensive and busiest times of the year? Here are ALL my tips.

If airports remain open and operational, budget flights are probably going to be hard to come by and they will, for sure, be overbooked and going to the airport will be stressful and annoying. If you haven't already, sign up for flight alerts right now. If you just aren't sure how to pull off an affordable holiday trip, my ebook can give you all the inside tips for planning, booking, packing and not killing your family out of stress.

For less the cost of a bus ride back to the airport, I give you all the ways to sneak savings out of your planning and how not to lock yourself in the garage with a bottle of wine because your family is making you hate life. So, not only will you save on your trip, but also on this fantastic info. (Remember, you can download this book even if you don't have a Kindle. The Kindle app is free on iTunes and Google Play and works on all your web-enabled devices.) 

Later this month, as always, I'll be posting some new reviews and lists of fabulous travel gifts that can be ordered and shipped or easily slipped into your carry-on, so you don't have to check a bag just to bring your presents with you on the plane.

While holiday travels will never be that affordable, you can still save money and sanity in a lot of ways. 

Will you be traveling this holiday season?
