Travel Smart this Holiday Season

High-and low-tech tips for a stress-free trip for the Latin American traveler from Delta Air Lines.

Long lines might be unavoidable, but thoughtful packing and preparing can make the day of take-off as smooth as possible.  Mobile technology can also facilitate many aspects of your trip, from booking flights to tracking bags to keeping on top of your itinerary.

Download the Fly Delta app to your iPhone, Android or Windows phone which includes popular tools like checking in for flights, accessing an eBoarding pass, changing seat assignments, tracking the upgrade list, receiving alerts for updated travel information, viewing airport and aircraft details, setting a parking reminder, and tracking and paying for bags.

For a look at how Delta tracks your bags while you get ready for your holiday journey, YOU check out a video on Delta Air lines homepage. (Youtube: Behind-The-Scenes: Your Bag's Journey On Delta).

Because we know that customers sometimes have questions on the go and after their flights,
Delta provides real-time specialized customer care on Twitter in Spanish @DeltaAssist_ES and in Portuguese @DeltaAjuda.


Here are some additional tips so you have fewer things to worry about and more time to enjoy with family and friends this holiday season.

Be efficient.
·  Don’t overstuff your carry-on – remember that bags be within the 22” x 14” x 9” limit
·  Check in online or through your mobile device
·  Arrive early – at least 90 minutes before your domestic departure time, or three hours  for international flights
· Consider curbside check in to reduce time standing in line

Speed through Security.
· Have your current identification out and ready
·  Empty your pockets and take off your belt, jacket and scarf
·  Take your laptop and toiletries out of your bag
·  If you qualify, take advantage of TSA PreCheck for faster security processing – learn more here.

By following these tips, your relaxing vacation can begin before you even land.
