Plan Ahead to Make Your Flight Brighter

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 06:39:00 -1600

Traveling all over the country (and even the world) can be pretty stressful these days. From the flight, airport parking, security checking, and paying baggage fees, it all seems daunting. Planning as much of your trip ahead of time is necessary if you want to have a smooth and stress free time.

For Travelers

If you are going to a tropical destination for a holiday, traveling for Spring Break 2012, or will be visiting friends or family somewhere, make your travel plans well in advance. If you forgot to book your flight 60-90 days prior to the holiday, you are not completely out of luck. Many airlines still have open seats a few weeks before the holiday and you may even get a big discount at this point. You can shop for the best flight deals online, which will enable you to save the most money possible.

If you will be renting a car to drive to your destination, or if you will rent one once you have landed after your flight, make these arrangements well in advance. The rental car companies will raise their prices closer to the date, so if you want to save money you need to plan ahead of time.

If you will be driving yourself to the airport such as Burbank Bob Hope Airport or Baltimore Washington International Airport, and then flying to your destination, ensure that you have planned out how and where you will park. Many people have missed their flights in the past because they did not leave enough time to find a parking spot and ended up having to park too far from the terminal to make their flight. Allow for at least half an hour to an hour (depending on how big the airport is) to get your car parked and to get to the terminal. If you want to cut down on that time, you can choose valet parking. Many people do not even realize that this option is available to them. It will help you to save quite a lot of time.

You can also choose to reserve your parking online with Airport Parking Connection, which is an excellent way to save time as well, because you do not have to search for a spot. You can reserve with SouthWest Parking or VSP Parking out of BUR airport, and EconoPark Express or ValetPark Express out of BWI airport. Reserve and print out your parking voucher and other travel itineraries and be on your way!

Don't forget to stay up to date with the status of your flight as airline travel is always changing with the weather and delays. Check out FlightStats.com and keep up with your flight status.

Whether you are traveling to see your friends and family, planning ahead can help make your holiday trip smoother and easier.

Getting Ready for Super Bowl Travel

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 02:05:00 -1600

Millions of Americans will hit the roads and the airways to head to various destinations during the Super Bowl and hit up favorite local sports to watch the big game and cheer on the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. Travel can be quite stressful, with airports filled to the brim and cars jamming the roads. If you are planning to travel this season, there are a few things you need to know and have ready prior to leaving.

Travel by Plane

If you are going on a plane, there are a lot of things that you need to do to get ready. First, you want to pack smart. Do not stuff suitcases to the brim. If airport security needs to check your bags the process could end up taking a very long time if you have way too many things inside. Pack only what you need and cut down on the unnecessary extras.

Next, make sure that if you have any liquids or gels, including food items like jelly and salsa, in your carry-on that you have no more than 3.4 ounces. Any more than that and you will have to pack these items into your checked bag or leave them back at your home.

Plan where you will park before you leave for the airport. If you are flying out of Buffalo International Airport for example, you have several options to choose from:

Valet Parking

Valet parking might be the most expensive option, but it is also the most seamless. All you have to do is drive right up to the valet, hand them your keys and you are ready to go. If you have the extra cash, this can be your best bet. Airport Valet Parking at BUF is a great choice for this.

Self-Parking

Self-parking takes quite a lot of time out of your day. You will have to drive around the lot to find a spot. Then, if you are very far you will need to take a shuttle to your terminal. Allow plenty of time if this is the option you want to choose.

Reserved Parking

You can get onto the airport website prior to your trip and reserve your parking spot with Airport Parking Connection. You can pay ahead of time and will be able to possibly get a very close spot, however this is a slightly more expensive option and it requires prior planning. A great option is to reserve online with Thrifty Airport Parking at BUF.

Travel by Car

Depending on how far you are going to Indianapolis, you should make sure that you have plenty of gas for your road trip. Know your route so that you do not end up wasting a lot of time and energy driving to the wrong place. If necessary, get a GPS device, a good map or both so that you can take the best route to your travel destination. Indianapolis International Airport may even have shuttles running to Lucas Oil Stadium where you can park at Ace Rent a Car or at Indy Park Ride & Fly and shuttle to the stadium.

Get your oil changed and a tune-up done prior to a long road trip. Check air pressure in the tires and ensure that everything is in good working order.

Hit the road at non-peak times (like rush hour) to avoid serious traffic jams. Pay close attention on the road and you will have a safe drive to your hometown or other destination.

Time to Celebrate! Mardi Gras Style!

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 03:13:00 -1600

Now that the holidays are over, there are so many fun events coming up to travel and experience for the 2012 year. If you have never traveled to New Orleans to experience Mardi Gras "Fat Tuesday", I highly recommend it! Each year New Orleans celebrates with amazing culture, food, parties, music, and let's not forget all the parades. This year, Mardi Gras with fall on Tuesday, February 21st, falling before Ash Wednesday.

Make your all your travel arrangements early to get the best experience with all New Orleans has to offer. Find your flight, hotel, rental car, and don't forget to reserve your airport parking!

Super Bowl Travel - Patriots Vs. Giants

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 02:32:00 -1600

Only a week and a half away from the football game of the year! The Super Bowl is set to take place in Indianapolis, Indiana on February 5th with two of the mostly highly talked about sports teams of the season. The New England Patriots will take on the New York Giants at Lucas Oil Stadium.

If you have ever traveled for the Super Bowl, you know that it can be an expensive and yet completely worthwhile experience. By this time, I am sure that flights have or are filling up as well as the airport parking constraints for the weekend. If you are headed out this year, make sure you think ahead and get as many travel expenses reserved early as possible.

One thing many people forget is to reserve their airport parking for their trip. It will save you time and money, and you won't have to circle the airport risking missing your flight. Reserve online with Airport Parking Connection. Find airport parking deals at major airport lots out of LAX, JFK, EWR, LGA, SFO, ATL, and Denver International Airport.

When to arrive at Indianapolis International Airport, grab a rental car with ACE Rent-a-Car and be on your way to the best game of the year!
