Packing Tips and Tricks!

Oh the fun of packing! Don’t let packing for your trip be a hassle. Here are some great tips to help make packing easy and fun! Click on my video links for videos tutorials.

Have a pill box but no pills? Use it for your jewelry when packing! Perfect organizer for your earrings, necklaces and rings!

Instead of folding, roll your clothes when packing, saves a lot of room and you can roll a complete outfit, works especially well for kids!

Shower caps, yes I said shower caps, they are great for packing your shoes! Slip them over the soles before packing!

Ziplock bags are perfect for packing clothes for kids. Put a complete outfit in each bag, kids can use the same bag for their dirty clothes!

Good Luck!

Flying Secrets!

Flying Secrets!

Make sure to have your rewards card!

For a quick trip home Spirit Airlines always comes through with great prices, you can go straight to their website or through the Skyscanner app. Best prices for airfares are on Tuesdays, prices change throughout the day so just keep checking. Always try to book your flights at least 2 weeks before departure date. If you don’t expect to pay higher than average prices!

My favorite airline….DELTA…..along with great flights, their customer service is top notched! I love Delta Airlines!

One secret for travelers which I use all the time….when you check in ask about upgrades! Not all airlines offer it but most do. It doesn’t hurt to ask. On long flights if you’ve booked a coach seat, ask at the counter if any upgrades to first or business class are available, sometimes you can get an upgrade to first class for a fraction of the price you would pay if you booked it initially. Once on my travel to London I got my son and I an upgrade to Business class for less than $300! For a 9 hour flight it was well worth it, I slept and my son played video games!

Good Luck!
