Holiday Travel Survival Tips: From Santa Barbara's No. 1 Travel Agency

Written by Chris Weatherhead | December 8, 2017

Here at Montecito Village Travel, Santa Barbara's best luxury travel agency, we are fortunate enough to spend quite a bit of time traveling for work and pleasure. This year we asked our partner Delta Vacations to share their favorite tips on how to navigate busy airports over the holiday season.

  1. “I like to have an external charger compatible with my Smartphone, this way I don’t have to compete for power outlets at a busy airport. Also, I do my check-in on line, update my travel apps and download Wi-Fi games to keep entertained in flight.” -Roberto Mercado
  2. “One of the best holiday gifts you can give yourself is a day pass or an annual membership in an airline VIP lounge like Delta Sky Club. They can provide a wonderfully peaceful escape from hectic airport scenes filled with holiday travelers.” -Mark Chesnut
  3. “Don’t worry, be ready and be happy. Add to your Twitter, accounts that offer local traffic reports. This will help you to get to the airport faster and avoid congestion.” -Jesus Alonso Iglesias
  4. “What I love the most is having access to Wi-fi on board because it allows me to work as I wish and I love the Delta iPad app, I even wrote a blog post about it! ” -Annie Burbano
  5. “I like to use my time wisely while waiting for my flight, tasks like organizing my notebook folders and clean up my mail box are a must before flying.” -Silvia Oliveira

Delta also has additional travel tools for both travelers such as real time travel assistance! Speak to an advisor for more information.
