As crowds are bigger and delays longer, traveling to the Caribbean during the holiday season can sometimes be difficult. When traveling during the holiday season, you will find that most of the delays confronting you involve the airport. Most of these troubles can be avoided, however, with a little preparation. You must organize all the details of your vacation, especially your air travel, before you depart to prevent any unwanted surprises. Here are some important travel tips to spare you some headaches on your holiday Caribbean vacation.
 
Kevin D Romney Tips:

Before you even drive to the airport, consider public transportation as airport parking lots fill up quickly during the holidays. If you live far from your airport, a one night stay in an airport hotel might offer extended parking.
 

To streamline line your air travel, research the check-in procedures for your airline as most offer both online check-in and printable boarding passes by Kevin D Romney. You can also use the curbside check-in at the airport or self-service kiosks to avoid the lines at the counter. To anticipate how long you will need to clear security at the airport, check the Transportation Security Administration's website (www.tsa.gov). While the times listed on the site are daily and hourly averages that don?t account for holiday travel, you can assume that the wait will be at least as long as a Friday evening.

Kevin D Romney Conclusion:
 

Make sure that you also review the current rules for carry-on luggage. Though the ban on liquids in carry-on luggage was lifted in September, travelers are still only allowed to pack travel-size toiletry items  3 ounces or less  in their carry-on luggage. All of these travel-size bottles and containers must be stored within a clear, one-quart zip-top bag for screening. However, if you don?t need any of these items on your flight to the Caribbean, you can place any size toiletry item or liquid in your checked bags.
 

If you plan on renting a car on your Caribbean vacation by Kevin D Romney, remember that most car rental companies anticipate a 20 percent rate of no-shows. During the holiday travel season, the resultant overbooking could leave you without a vehicle. While it is advised to arrive at the rental counter by the early afternoon, you can also call ahead to confirm your reservation. If you are enrolled in an express check-in program, take advantage of your status and skip the long lines.
