The holidays are upon us and that can mean getting together with friends and family to celebrate. If your Thanksgiving holiday plans keep you around the Colorado area, you are in luck this year - the weather forecast looks pretty good with temperatures in the mid 50's, with a decent amount of sunshine up through Saturday.
But what if your gathering isn't happening locally? Keep these few pointers in mind to ease your stress when traveling this week.
1. Check in on-line if possible and avoid lines at the airport.
2. Follow carry-on rules. Remember, liquids must be in containers 3 ounces or smaller and all liquids carried on must fit in a 1-quart size plastic bag. Use your own zip-loc from home and have liquids placed inside the bag BEFORE you arrive to the airport.
3. Have your ID and boarding pass in an easy to locate place to show at the security check point.
4. Check your flight departure time the day of travel and before you leave for the airport. Try to arrive about 2 hours before departure.
Be prepared for increased traffic on our roads and crowds at the airports. AAA reports there will be a .3 percent increase in travel this week. Planes could be more full this year because airlines serving DIA have cut capacity. Luckily though, weather related issues should not be a problem at DIA this year.
