It’s me…JaQuay.

You can procrastinate as long as you like for your upcoming getaway.

But don’t procrastinate 2 weeks before departure.

So here’s what I do to avoid stress on the day of travel.

It’s worked for me year after year, and I travel multiple times throughout the year.

FIRST

Pack 2 weeks early:

  • Go shopping (not online) and find that cute purse, hat, swimsuit or whatever you feel you need.
  • Try it on at the store if possible to save time.
  • Try it on the minute you get home, and before you put it in your luggage.

Bringing new clothes on a getaway without trying them on prior to leaving, is a disaster waiting to happen.

You could end up with only a few items to wear on your getaway due to something not fitting or just simply now as cute as the ad made it look.

Here’s a helpful tool I use to make sure I don’t leave anything behind while packing. Yes you can use it too – Click here 👉🏽THE ULTIMATE TRAVEL LIST

SECOND

Set 3 alarms for 4 hours before your airport arrival time which is – 3 hours before departure for international flights and 2 hours before departure for domestic flights.

Because you have packed your bag ahead of time you are only getting dressed and freshening up.

Don’t do anything that will cause a delay.

THIRD

Schedule your ride or know where you are parking your car before you leave your home.

Try to leave the home in enough time to make it to the airport hours before your flight take off, like explained above.

Don’t stop for anything if you can help it and try to avoid traffic as well.

FOURTH

Have a valid ID or Passport in a quick accessible location to be ready to pull out when needed.

Check in 24 Hours before Departure on the airlines website to avoid having to print the boarding passes at the airport.

FIFTH

Wear comfortable clothing like joggers, sweats, loose fit clothing.

So that you don’t get uncomfortable sitting for long periods of time.

Make sure your shoes are easy to slip on and off so you can breeze through the security check.

Wear socks so when you have to take off your shoes you aren’t touching the dirty floor.

Bonus:

Create an amazing playlist of songs to listen to while waiting.

Also, download your favorite movies onto your electronic devices so you can watch them while on your flight without having to use the internet.

I forgot to add this…

Most of my flights are early morning flights.

I will tell you why those are better in another post later.

Peace and Love,

JaQuay
