Traveling by air this holiday season? Expert shares what you need to know

JACKSON, Tenn. — Many Americans are going to be traveling by air over the next few weeks.

This can be a stressful time for many.

However, there are new ways that can relieve some of this stress.

Certain luggage companies are providing a holiday lost luggage guarantee.

If your luggage is lost, they will provide you with a free bag to help you out.

Also, Medjet provides a service to transport you to your local hospital, should an emergency happen far away from home.

Laura Bloom, a travel expert, shares a big tip with us if you are traveling.

“I really think it is more important than ever to get to the airport early,” Bloom said. “Airports are really making it more fun to be at the airport early with great restaurants and so much to do. I think it is a sure fire tip and it will set your trip off on a better note.”

There are also companies out there that will personally ship your luggage to your destination.

This means you do not need to bring any bags to the airport.
