]]>One thing that can really stress people out is being tight on time. So one thing you can do is try to plan an extra couple hours into your trip, or overestimate how long each part will take. That way, if things start to lag, you won’t need to worry.
Most of the time, the worst case scenario of a trip is that you’ll be late. Maybe you’re stressed you’ll lose a suitcase or some such thing. Try to name the thing you’re worried about, and then think “what will happen?” For example, “I’m worried my flight will be delayed. Then I’ll have to rush to my next flight and I might not make it. Then I’ll have to get the next flight to my destination. Then I’ll check into the hotel late at night.” Checking into the hotel late is annoying, but it’s damage that will be over by the next morning. By thinking through your worries, you’ll often find the stakes aren’t as high as they feel.
Often, a few deep breaths or a calming exercise can do a lot to slow your racing mind. If you have a still moment while you’re driving, at the gate, or wherever, try taking some deep breaths and finding stillness even within the stress.

]]>Probably the most stressful part of flying is running late, which is why we highly recommend following these few tips that should save you time before your flight:
If your flight is full, it can be very stressful to find room in the overhead bins to stow your carry-on bag, especially if you’re boarding late. If that’s the case, go ahead and store your bag in the first available bin you pass instead of waiting to try to find a spot near your seat.
If you have a tight connection, look up your landing gate and connection gate before you land on your airline’s application. Also, be sure to inform a flight attendant that you have a tight connection so they may allow you to deboard first.
