The holiday season is one of the busiest travel times of the year, but with a little planning, you can avoid the stress and enjoy a smooth journey. Here are some practical tips to help you travel smartly this festive season:

1. Book Early for the Best Deals

Flights, hotels, and transportation fill up quickly in December. Secure your travel plans as early as possible to lock in the best prices and availability. Don’t forget to book Mason & Green’s fixed-price transfers to avoid last-minute surprises.

2. Pack Strategically

• Carry Essentials in Your Hand Luggage: Include travel documents, medication, and a change of clothes.
• Pack for Weather Conditions: Bring layers, as winter weather can be unpredictable.
• Limit Gifts in Checked Luggage: If possible, ship gifts ahead to avoid extra baggage fees or potential damage.

3. Stay Informed About Flight Changes

Sign up for alerts from your airline to stay updated on delays or cancellations. At Mason & Green, we track flight times and adjust our airport pick-ups accordingly, ensuring you have a stress-free arrival.

4. Allow Extra Time for Security & Check-In

Holiday crowds mean longer lines at security and check-in. Arrive early and consider fast-track services at major airports for quicker processing.

5. Keep Your Documents Handy

Organise your passport, boarding passes, and reservation details in a travel wallet or app. Digital copies on your phone can also be a lifesaver in case you misplace anything.

6. Opt for Private Transfers

Public transportation can be unpredictable during the holidays. Booking a private transfer with Mason & Green ensures a reliable, comfortable, and timely journey to your destination.

7. Stay Healthy While Traveling

• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, especially on long flights.
• Boost Your Immune System: Carry hand sanitiser and consider taking vitamins.
• Stretch and Move: Take short walks during layovers or on long drives to improve circulation.

8. Plan for Traffic and Weather Delays

Holiday traffic can cause delays, especially around major cities and airports. Check the weather forecast and allow extra time for your journey. Our professional drivers are familiar with alternative routes to keep you on schedule.

9. Enjoy the Journey

Travel is part of the holiday experience! Bring books, download podcasts, or watch a festive movie to make the journey enjoyable. If you’re traveling with kids, pack games and snacks to keep them entertained.

10. Choose Comfort and Safety with Mason & Green
