Seven Summer Travel Hacks

The summer travel season is about to start, and if you haven’t made your travel plans yet, now is the time to start. Here are seven travel tips to get your trip started right.

Fly Like A Pro

• Mix and match. Sometimes flying two different airlines or booking two one-way tickets is cheaper than booking one round-trip ticket on the same airline.

• Check your seat. Websites like seatguru.com have color-coded eat maps so you can identify the best seast for your flight needs.

• Go to the left. When deciding whether to go right or left in the airport security line, go left - those lines tend to be shorter.

Pack Like A Pro

• Roll don’t fold. Tightly rolled clothes take up less space and are less likely to get wrinkled.

• Wrap your shoes. Use a plastic bag to prevent dirt from getting on your clothes.

• Pack heavy items at the bottom. Help your bag stay upright by packing heavier items on the bottom of your suitcase.

• Keep clothes fresh. Put a dryer sheet in your suitcase to keep your clothes fresh.
