Seven Tips for Stress-Free Travel

Don’t let pre-travel anxiety ruin your experience. Follow these tips to travel stress-free and start enjoying your vacation as soon as you arrive at the airport.

1. Arrive Early

Give yourself plenty of time by arriving at the airport at least three hours before your flight. Avoid the stress of rushing and ensure a smooth start to your journey.

Tip: Consider using valet parking for a hassle-free experience at the airport.

Our American Express Platinum Card offers complimentary valet service at Toronto Pearson, making parking convenient and stress-free.

Travel with a carry-on bag to save time at check-in and avoid the hassle of checking baggage. Packing light can make your journey more relaxed and enjoyable.

Remember, less is more when it comes to packing for travel.

3. Check-In Online

Save time at the airport by checking in online and either printing your boarding passes or saving them on your smartphone. Skip the check-in counter and head straight to security for a stress-free start to your trip.

4. Skip The Security Lane

Consider options like priority security lanes or lounge access to bypass long security lines and reduce stress before your flight.

5. Be Prepared

Be organized and prepared for security screening to expedite the process and make your journey smoother. Keep essential items easily accessible and follow security guidelines to minimize delays.

6. Relax

Take advantage of airport lounges to relax and unwind before your flight. Lounges offer a peaceful environment with amenities to make your travel experience more enjoyable.

7. Create a Care Package for Travel

Prepare a travel care package with essentials for your flight to ensure a comfortable and stress-free journey. Keep necessary items within reach to make your flight more enjoyable.
