Summary
From flying to hotel check-ins, A-List advisors share their valuable travel advice.
So, you’re dreaming of your next vacation. As you finalize your plans and the excitement grows, consider these tips from GoTravelDaily’s expert A-List advisors.
Pack Strategically
“Always pack a day bag if you’re checking into a hotel early. With the huge demand for hotel stays at the moment, many properties can no longer accommodate early check-ins. However, you are always welcome to use the facilities (go to the pool or hit the beach) while they store your big bags until your room is ready.” — Kemi Wells, Wells Luxury Travel
Go Against the Crowds
“Dare to go where others aren’t. Now that we’ve emerged from the pandemic, people are flocking back to old favorites and cities. Consider bucking the trend and exploring less popular destinations to reap the benefits of fewer crowds, lower prices, and more authentic experiences.
In Mexico, demand has leveled off in traditional beach destinations (including Riviera Maya, Tulum, Puerto Vallarta, Punta de Mita, and Los Cabos), which means opportunities are arising for more reasonable rates. Moreover, take it one step further and visit more remote destinations like the peaceful town of Bacalar, the wellness-focused Costa Careyes, and beyond.” — Zachary Rabinor, Journey Mexico
Remember to Pause in the Moment Once You’re There
“Sometimes, you need to find a good spot, take a seat and a glass of wine, and just watch what’s happening around you. Travel with curiosity and attention to details and people.” — Tova Wald, Tova Wald Boutique Travel & Events
Make Plans Well in Advance
“My biggest tip is to always purchase travel insurance. This practice ensures you have the best options at the best prices, and by insuring your trip, you reduce travel-related stress. Flight cancellations and delays are increasingly common nowadays. Therefore, with travel insurance and the support of a great travel advisor, you can navigate through potential issues with ease, rather than worrying about unexpected costs.” — Erin Correia, Adventure Life
Be Smart About Ticket Prices
“For flights, utilize tools like Skyscanner or Google Flight alerts to avoid overpaying for airfare.” — Kendra Thornton, Royal Travel
