Apple Maps and Google Maps both allow you to download maps offline, ensuring you can navigate even in areas with poor service. Simply type in your destination, find the download button, and save the map for offline use. This is particularly helpful when planning international trips. You can also download languages for offline translating using Apple’s Translate app and Google Translate.
When packing, remember TSA’s 3-1-1 rule for liquids. Liquid containers should be 3.4 ounces or less, all containers should be packed in one clear, quart-sized bag, and you get one per passenger. Be sure to also include essentials like a toothbrush, medications, and an extra set of clothes in your carry-on bag or personal item. This ensures you’re prepared if your flight is delayed or canceled, as checked luggage may not be accessible until you reach your destination.
Programs like TSA PreCheck and CLEAR can help you get through airport security faster. If you do not have those, some airports offer a free service called RESERVE, which is powered by CLEAR and lets you make a reservation to go through airport security. You’ll need to select your airport on the CLEAR app or website, then put in your flight information. You’ll receive a QR code confirming your reservation. How far out you can book depends on the airport, so make sure you check ahead of time.
Research your destination airport ahead of time to locate car rentals, rideshare pickup areas, or taxi stands, saving time upon arrival.
