As the planned vacation days close in, your excitement is definitely through the roof. It’s been a long enough wait and the only thing left to do is pack a bag and get on that plane. Right? Well, let’s not get too carried away since there are some pitfalls to avoid and have the best possible time on the holiday. We have put together a basic list of traveling errors to avoid when planning and traveling. Check it out.

Packing more than what’s necessary
Even if you are planning to go for a long vacation, don’t bother stuffing every piece of clothing and accessory into the check in and cabin luggage. When you have multiple layovers and transfers, lugging heavy suitcases is the last hassle you need. Also, most basic amenities and essentials for self-grooming and care can be bought at the destination. Traveling light will save you efforts and the extra space is great for bringing back some souvenirs.

Planning back-to-back flights
Never book flights with a short layover. Delays are inevitable and you’ll also need some time on hand to make it to the next connecting flight. If you are planning a trip that involves multiple long-haul flights, make sure you fit in some extra layover time to rest and recoup. Traveling from one time zone to the other will severely put you in jet lag mode so these periodic breaks will help.

Overplanning
Overplanning can end up becoming a nightmare to manage, especially if you are traveling with family. Not everyone will be able to keep up with a hectic schedule. Also, you’ll only have time to get from one place to the other and not really spend a good day at the location. Plan you travel itinerary to cover as much ass possible but avoid trying to cram in a ton of activities.

Carrying valuables
Why take your expensive laptop, iPad, or even fancy jewelry on vacation? The whole point of the vacation was to get away from the everyday humdrum. So, it just doesn’t make sense to carry valuables on vacation. They could be stolen or misplaced.

Skip the line tours

Book skip the line tours for popular hotspots including the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican City, Rome Colosseum, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and even the most popular guided skip the line Louvre Museum tour.
