If you've got a flight coming up, consider this as your friendly reminder: turbulence doesn't just happen in the air -- it's in the airports, too.

TIPS TO GET THROUGH THIS WHILE KEEPING YOUR SANITY

✈ FLY EARLY - Morning flights have the best shot at leaving on time before the day's delays start to snowball.

⏰ ARRIVE EARLY - Arrive earlier than the airline's recommended time. This is not the time to participate in those viral airport Tiktok trends where you get to the airport 45 mins before your flight takes off.

🔐 KEEP YOUR ESSENTIALS CLOSE - Medications, chargers, or anything you can't go 24 hours without. These should always stay in your carry-on.

🧳 PACK SMART - Split your outfits between your carry-on and checked bag, just in case your checked bag decides to take a different vacation.

🔋 STAY POWERED UP - Outlets will be scarce, so bring a portable power bank, or two.

🔽 DOWNLOAD AIRLINE'S APP - The best way to get real-time updates and changes is directly from the airline's app. You can't always go with the gate gossip.

🥤 STAY HYDRATED AND BRING SNACKS - Airport food lines can feel longer than your flight itself. Bring a refillable water bottle, and take advantage of the free water refilling stations at the airport. Plus, the food is way overpriced at the airport.

🧘🏼‍♂️ PACK YOUR PATIENCE - Airport travel can be stressful on a normal day. Everyone is trying their best with the cards that are dealt. Pause, breathe, and choose kindness.

As many of you know, I pride myself on being attentive and responsive, but I want to share that I’ll be out for bereavement due to the recent passing of my grandmother. I appreciate your understanding during this difficult time, and thank you for your patience as I take a brief pause to be with family.

A quick sidenote for current and potential travel clients: I am fully booked with travel planning through mid-November. If you’re interested in joining my waitlist for planning your future trips, please complete the travel planning inquiry form via my Linktree. Please note that there will be a delay in response while I am out for bereavement, but I will follow up as soon as possible.

I will be available to my clients traveling this week in the event that you need assistance. 

Thank you all for your support and understanding.

This is AMAZING!! Traveling with kids is stressful as it is, especially if you have a child with special needs.

Having a dedicated TSA line for families will definitely make it a little less stressful!

What do you think of this added feature coming to an airport near you?

WASHINGTON – US Department of Homeland Security Secretary Noem announced the “Families on the Fly” campaign Thursday, the latest TSA initiative designed to enhance hospitality for families during the airport security screening experience.

Something that should be on your to-do list before EVERY international trip: Sign up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) at step.state.gov.
STEP is a free service to keep Americans informed of any known safety or security issues in the area during your trip. It also makes it easier for the U.S. embassy to contact you in an emergency.

💭 Thinking of traveling to Rome soon? Here’s what you should know. 🇮🇹

With the passing of Pope Francis, Rome—and particularly Vatican City—will be entering a significant period of mourning. Whether or not you’re religious, this moment is historic and will bring a notable shift in the rhythm of travel to Italy, especially if you're planning a visit in the coming weeks.

☝🏻Here are a few things to keep in mind:

⚠️ Crowds & Ceremonies: A 9️⃣ day period of mourning will begin, during which the Pope will lie in state at St. Peter’s Basilica. Expect extremely high visitor volume, especially around Vatican City.

🛑 Closures: Certain sites like the Sistine Chapel and possibly parts of the Vatican Museums may close temporarily. Always double-check hours if you plan to visit these locations.

📈 Rising Demand: Flights and accommodations in Rome are expected to be in unusually high demand. If you haven’t already booked, you may notice price increases and limited availability.

🗓️ Jubilee Year Context: 2025 was already expected to be a major pilgrimage year due to the Catholic Jubilee, which happens every 25 years. Many were already planning to walk through the four Holy Doors at Rome’s major basilicas. The Pope’s passing will amplify the number of visitors dramatically.

This period may bring once-in-a-lifetime moments—but also logistical challenges. If you’re planning to visit Rome this year, especially during this transition, make sure you’re prepared for crowds, adjusted schedules, and the emotional weight of the experience.

Not sure if this is the right year for your Italy trip? Let’s talk through it—I’m happy to help you decide what’s best for you.

Ready to fly? Whether you’re catching a flight to a beach vacation or clocking in for your next business trip, let’s get REAL ID ready! We've got less than one month to go, so here's what you should know:

Where can you get one?

🏢 Yep, it’s time to visit your local DMV. Plan ahead, book an appointment, and you'll be on your way to a REAL ID.

What do you need?

📄 Proof of identity – Think passport or birth certificate.
📄 Proof of SSN
📫 Proof of residency/current address

Have any REAL ID questions, our AskTSA team has some real answers. Feel free to text them at (275-872). You can also visit: www.tsa.gov/real-id

Does your child need a REAL ID to fly? Here’s what parents should know:

Good news – children under 18 do not need a REAL ID to fly domestically. If they’re traveling with an adult who has a REAL ID or another TSA-approved ID, they’re good to go!

However, if your teen plans to fly solo, you'll want to check with your airline for any additional requirements. If your teen is getting their first ID soon, consider getting a REAL ID, so they’re travel-ready for the future!
