Where Does Santa Vacation?

Holiday travel doesn’t have to feel like an Olympic sport. Between juggling luggage, long lines, and your aunt’s famous last-minute itinerary changes, it’s easy to forget that vacations are supposed to be fun. Before you break out the neck pillow and brace for airport chaos, check out our top tips for stress-free holiday travel.


1. Pack Like a Pro (or at least like someone who’s done this before)

When it comes to holiday packing tips, less is definitely more. We know you might need that third pair of sandals, but unless you’re heading to a week-long fashion show, skip it. Stick to versatile basics that mix and match easily.


Bonus tip: roll your clothes instead of folding to save space and reduce wrinkles.


2. Be an Early Bird, Even If You’re Not One

Airports during the holidays can feel like amusement parks without the fun rides. Give yourself plenty of extra time. Early arrival means less stress and maybe even time for a pre-flight coffee that isn’t chugged in line at security. A relaxed traveler is a happy traveler.





3. Use Travel Tech to Your Advantage

One of the best holiday travel hacks is embracing technology. Download your airline’s app, sign up for text alerts, and keep digital copies of your ID and itinerary. There’s nothing more satisfying than breezing past a long check-in line with a quick scan of your phone.


4. Keep Your Cool (Literally and Figuratively)

Hydrate, stretch, and pack snacks. No one makes good decisions when hangry. And remember, everyone else is also trying to get somewhere special. A little patience, kindness, and humor go a long way when traveling during the holidays.


5. Let the Travel Experts Handle It

If the idea of organizing flights, transfers, and resort stays makes you want to hibernate until January, let the professionals handle it. At Beach Bum Vacations, we take care of every detail so you can focus on what matters most: relaxing. Whether you’re dreaming of a tropical beach or a luxury resort getaway, our travel experts make holiday vacation planning easy and stress-free.
