Traveling during the holidays has its fair share of glooms. But you can’t really argue about all the happiness you witness around. There is a general excitement in the air, it may be frenzied and out of control sometimes, but it is enough to uplift your mood. Instead of sulking and complaining about how unfortunate your life is, enjoy everything that is around you. Look on the brighter side, life will be better!

  1. Pack light (but don’t forget your party shoes)

So when traveling, in general, you are supposed to pack light. Other than the luggage weight barrier which airlines put, it is easier to move around, especially if you are alone. Similarly, when you are traveling for business, try to minimize your luggage as much as it is possible. But when your travel dates clash with the holidays, take at least one party dress and shoes. It is not a good idea to move around a decked place in your staunch conventional attire. It is just wrong! So pack your bag effectively and don’t forget that sexy dress you’ve been meaning to try out for a long time.

  1. Go out, have fun; but in limited amounts

When you are alone in an unknown city, the first instincts advice you to stay in your hotel room and avoid strangers at all cost, especially when you are going for a drink or two. But when the entire city is in a mood to celebrate, you can’t just sit in your room and do nothing. You will go out. You should go out. But keep your safety in mind. Don’t indulge in meaningless conversations with strangers who seem dubious. Don’t accept drinks and food from anyone. And set a taboo for returning back. And stick to it! Enjoy but in limited capacities. Finish the rest of the wine bottle in your room while watching Netflix. It is fun too.

  1. Don’t fly on the weekends

You know how people travel during the holiday season. Well, not for work, but for leisure! (Yes, keep burning at that thought!). This mostly happens during the weekends. Airports bust with people, ticket counters have long queues and the road is full not-moving traffic. Hence, it is always better to avoid traveling on the weekends. Monday mornings don’t get better either; so that is out of option as well. Rest of the week is a green signal. Travel as you wish. Also, make your bookings early on so that you don’t have to fight for a good seat. For last moment bookings, you can contact reputed corporate tour organizers who will get you the best deals.
