Air travel

- Book non stop flights.
- Take it slow. Arrive early at the airport.
- Have snacks in case your flight is delayed.
- If you’re traveling with children, bring activities to keep them occupied.
Road travelers:
- Make sure your vehicle is road ready. Check components, like the battery, tires, brakes and check fluid levels.
