Busy Phoenix AirportExpect it to be busy

More people will be traveling in 2022 than in years past. This is due to a combination of factors, including the vaccine rollout and pent-up demand remaining from 2020 and 2021. While this is good news for the travel industry, it also means that travel issues will remain common.

The day before Thanksgiving will be one of the busiest travel days of the year, so expect long lines and crowded airports. The same goes for the Friday before Christmas. If you’re planning on traveling during these times, it’s important to book early—including your ride to and from the airport!

Air transportation issues will remain

This year, we’ve heard more stories than ever about lost luggage, canceled flights, and other transportation issues. Unfortunately, these problems are likely to continue into 2022. So, what can you do to protect yourself?

One of the best things you can do is to be prepared. Make sure you have all your travel documents in order and that you know your rights as a passenger. It’s also a good idea to pack lightly and keep valuables with you in your carry-on bag. If you can avoid checking a bag, do so.
International Airport Travel

A surge in international travel

Along with domestic travel being busy, international travel is also likely to see a big jump this year. This is in part because many people have been stuck at home for the past few years and are eager to get out and explore again. Understandably, those who have family members living overseas are particularly eager to reunite.

If you’re planning on traveling this holiday season internationally, do your research and be prepared for long lines and busy airports. Again, booking early is advised!

Prepare for the unexpected

No matter how much you plan, there’s always a chance that something will go wrong when traveling. That’s why it’s important to be prepared for the unexpected.

Make sure you have travel insurance and that you understand what it covers. Having a backup plan for transportation and accommodation is also a good idea.
