Use these tips to help you glide through your holiday travels.

Traveling during the holidays can be very stressful. With crowded airports and a tight timetable, it can be enough to want to pull out your hair! To help ensure your holiday travels don't ruin all of your holiday cheer, keep this holiday travel guide in mind.

• Pack light - if you can, only bring one carry-on bag. Not checking any bags will help you save on fees while also ensuring that the airline doesn't lose your bag. If you are bringing gifts with you, ship them ahead of time so that you don't have to worry about keeping track of them during the madness of your flight.
• Fly direct - even though it may seem like the best deal to choose a flight with a few layovers to save money, it will only increase your risk of missing a plane. The more stops you have, the greater the chance that one of your connecting flights will get delayed due to weather.
• Enjoy an airport lounge - most people skip out on airport lounges because of the entry fee, which can be as high as $60. However, lounges offer unlimited snacks and drinks, as well as free Wi-Fi. If you compare the entry fee to what you would spend on food and public Wi-Fi outside of the lounge, the price difference isn't that bad.
• Utilize technology - there are tons of apps that will work to make your travel much easier and less stressful. Download a couple apps that will help you stay on track with your itinerary so that you don't miss your flight or get stuck for hours in security.
