Travel
The hustle and bustle of the holiday season can make traveling
even more challenging than usual. Here are a few fun tips from
the team at TripIt. TripIt from Concur instantly organizes all your

Don’t be naughty.
Be advised – hogging the overhead
bins, dominating the armrests
and bringing garlic fries onboard
might result in a lump of coal in
your stocking.

Take the fast lane
Sign up for CLEAR or TSA Pre-Check
and speed through security lines
without taking off your shoes, belts, or
jingle bells. TripIt Pro members have
access to CLEAR at a discounted rate.
Speaking of security
The My TSA app can be handy for
checking security line wait times at the
airport or questions about whether
you can pack a fruitcake in your
checked bag.
Want a better seat?
The Seat Tracker feature in TripIt Pro
can notify you when a better seat on
your flight becomes available.
If Scrooge cancels
your flight
TripIt Pro can help you quickly find
alternate flights before the rest of the
madding crowd! Or, call the airline
immediately to get rebooked –
it’s much faster than running to the
customer service counter.
Stay healthy
Get a flu shot before you fly
(good cheer isn’t the only thing
people are spreading this season,)
pack healthy snacks you can eat
on-the-go, and make sure your
schedule includes plenty of time for
sleep and exercise.
Pack light.
Seriously, this is the number one
travel tip of all time. PACK LIGHT.
Don’t be tempted to stuff one more
thing in your sack. You won’t regret it.
Trust us.
Dress for success.
Keep your belt in your carry on
and put it on after you get
through security. Wear slip-on shoes.
Wear socks. Santa hats are optional.
Zip up.
A jacket with zippered pockets is
handy. Put things like your wallet,
keys, phone and loose change in
the zipped up pockets, rather than
in the open bins. It’s easier to grab
one thing and go, and harder for
someone to slip your stuff into
their pocket.
Give yourself a gift.
Keep track of all your travel points
and VIP benefits in one place
with TripIt Pro; when your holiday
travels are over, treat yourself to a
merry little reward!
Share with family
and friends
Keep your inner circle in the loop
about your travel plans by sharing
your entire itinerary right through
TripIt Pro. No more forwarding,
texting, or calling required. Now Mom
will know exactly when your plane
lands, no matter the delays.
Making a list
Making a master itinerary helps
organize all your travel plans in
one place, putting everything you
need at your fingertips.
Checking it twice
TripIt Pro members can use real-time
alerts on delays, cancellations,
and gate changes to eliminate the
guesswork – and the stress.
Baby, it’s cold outside!
Use a weather app to keep tabs on
winter storms that might delay flights.
Allow extra time to get to the airport
or make connections.
Try to plan layovers in warmer cities
where blizzards are less likely to blow.
Be nice!
Holiday travel can be very stressful,
so people are extra appreciative if you
can smile and show them a little
kindness. Offer to help someone with
their bag. Switch seats so that family
can sit together. Offer to buy a drink
for the person in front of you,
maybe they’ll forgo reclining their
seat in return!
