Traveling During Peak Season? Read This First

Ah, peak season travel—sunshine, school breaks, and the undeniable urge to escape. But let’s be honest: it also means full flights, packed hotels, and queues that test your inner peace. If you’re jetting off during high season (think summer holidays, Christmas, or Easter), it pays to plan smarter, not just sooner. Here's your no-fluff guide to surviving—and actually enjoying—peak travel season.

1. Book Everything Early (Like, Yesterday)

Flights, accommodations, car rentals, museum tickets—book them all in advance. Prices skyrocket and availability disappears quickly during busy times. The earlier you commit, the more options (and better deals) you’ll have.

2. Flexibility = Your Secret Weapon

If you can tweak your dates by even a day or two, you might save big. Mid-week flights and off-peak hours (think red-eyes or early mornings) tend to be cheaper and less chaotic. Also, flying in or out of alternative airports can make a huge difference.

3. Don’t Skip Travel Insurance

When airports are overwhelmed, delays, cancellations, and lost luggage become way more likely. Travel insurance can be your financial safety net—and your sanity saver—if things go sideways.
