The holidays are already stressful and combining them with traveling only makes things more stressful.  There are however a few ways you can brighten up your holiday travel. Below is a list of 10 tips on how you can remove unnecessary stress from your holiday travel plans.

Book in Advance
Waiting until the last minute to book transportation or accommodation during the holiday season is sure to result in an unnecessary headache.

Leave Earlier
Leaving a couple days earlier than you have to or should serves the advantage putting you slightly ahead of the big crowds that travel around the holiday season.

Don't Pre-wrap Gifts
If you are flying pre-wrapped gifts will have to be unwrapped by airport security employees.

Arrive Early
When flying during the holidays it is always a good idea to arrive at the airport an hour before you usually do. This will allow you enough time to account for the larger crowds.

Check Your Flight
Since there are more flights during holiday season you should be extra attentive of your flights status as it is liable to change rapidly without much warning.

Pack Lightly
If you can pack everything you need into one small bag it will do away with the hassle of having to check a bag.

Travel By Train
Traveling by train is a option for those that are not traveling very far and is in general a little less crowded than airports.

Buy Gifts at Your Destination
Buying holiday gifts at your destination eliminates the hassle and stress of either having to bring them with you or ship them.

Bring Appropriate Identification
Before leaving your house make sure you have the proper identification that you will need for wherever you are traveling.

Get Your Rest
Though it may be hard forcing yourself to get a good nights sleep before traveling will do a lot to boost your mood and take away stress.
