Tips for Smooth Trips

By samantha brown , may 12, 2015 03:17 pm.

Just like anything else, traveling takes practice, patience and hard work. What do I do to make my trips as stress-free as possible? Here are a few of my battle-tested tips for a smooth journey.

Have a plan Your plan is your best friend. Involve everyone participating during the planning stage so all will feel invested in the vacation. Try creating a planning folder (digital or real) and put everything in it. At AARP’s The Travel Experience (travel.aarp.org),  you can research travel destinations and then create, save and share itineraries. Make sure everyone has chosen and planned at least one activity. Create a packing checklist This one is so simple and yet it’s pure planning gold. Leave out a pad of paper a week before your trip (or create a list on your smartphone) and begin to write down what to bring as the items come to mind. Then create a document and print it out. Add to it while you're away as you buy things, then use it to pack for the trip home. Sign up for the AARP Leisure Newsletter » Travel against traffic If you are traveling during a crunch time and have flexibility, you could save money and avoid the most stressful times to fly. Most booking and airlines sites have calendars to show when the cheapest days and times are to fly to your destination. Just check off “my dates are flexible,” and you'll find the least expensive days, which are also the lightest travel days. Secure your seats You may be on a budget, but it pays to spend a little extra for preferred or advanced seating. Airlines have decided to charge you for sitting together and some even charge extra for window/aisle seats. But if you do want to sit together, it's worth the extra money so someone doesn't end up sitting in a middle seat alone. Bring ear plugs Create your own quiet, stress-free zone by flying with an expensive set of ear plugs. I find most airport stress comes from crying babies, CFOs barking on cellphones and the endless announcements about flights you don’t care about. I slip these into my ears, and it instantly creates a more relaxing experience. Rehearse the security line with kids Parents stress about the airport experience with children in tow, particularly going through the security checkpoint. Do a “practice run” the night before. Pretend your kitchen table is where you put your things, a salad bowl acts as a bin, a doorway works as a metal detector. The more you prepare and make it an adventure, the less stressful (and quicker) going through security will be. Snacks. Seriously! I always have an energy bar, a bag of mixed nuts or packs of crackers with me — something that can live in my purse or bag for months and still be fine (in other words, no bananas). A happy frame of mind is essential for things to go smoothly, and all that goes out the window when we’re hungry. A world of apps Great travel apps have changed my life. I love FlightAware, which gives me such details as my gate and terminal but also tells me where my inbound flight is coming from. This app works great if your expecting visitors who are flying in as well. HotelTonight gives me great hotel rooms at a discount when there are last-minute changes in my plans. And AroundMe gives me helpful info at a new destination: nearest bank, restaurant or hospital, etc. All my travel apps really do take a lot of stress out of travel. Get travel discounts with your AARP Member Advantages. » Mind your manners Your manners are part of your travel arsenal. Remember that everyone around you is worthy of your kindness and understanding, even in tense situations. I see it all the time: Agents take much more considerate care of the well-behaved, polite travelers than the ones who are yelling and demanding. If an agent goes beyond the call of duty, make sure you say thank you. Photo: scanrail/iStock Also of Interest

One option is using travel credit cards to earn rewards in the form of points or miles when making everyday purchases. Then, you can cash in your rewards for free or discounted flights and hotel stays.

Another way to reduce travel costs is by joining a membership-based program to access money-saving travel discounts. One such organization is AARP, which offers savings on shopping, entertainment, health, travel and more to its members — and you don’t have to be retired to take advantage of the benefits.

Here's how you can keep more money in your pocket by taking advantage of AARP travel discounts.

Rhode Island Governor Signs AARP-Backed Retirement Savings Bill

By natalie missakian , june 28, 2024 03:28 pm.

Rhode Island has joined 19 other states in enacting AARP-backed legislation to help private-sector workers save for retirement through their jobs. We applaud Gov. Daniel McKee for signing a bill into law June 27 that will create Rhode Island Secure Choice , a state-facilitated auto-IRA retirement savings program. The program, also known as “work and save,” will help roughly 172,000 Rhode Islanders who currently lack access to a workplace retirement savings plan such as a 401(k). Under the legislation, participating workers would contribute to a state-sponsored Individual Retirement Account (IRA) through automatic payroll deductions. Employers with five or more workers that don’t already offer a retirement savings plan would be required to enroll employees in the plan, unless the worker opts out. Employees can change their contributions at any time, and the benefit stays with the worker if they change jobs. The bill passed with strong bipartisan support after four years of AARP advocacy, said Matthew Netto, AARP Rhode Island advocacy director. The state is eyeing a 2026 launch of the program, which is still in the planning stages. The auto-IRA plan would be overseen by a state-appointed board and managed by a private financial firm. “AARP Rhode Island commends House and Senate leadership for uniting on this vital legislation that will make it easier for workers to build towards a secure retirement and plan for their futures,” said Catherine Taylor, AARP Rhode Island state director. “Hardworking Rhode Islanders deserve to retire with dignity.” Research shows Americans are far more likely to save when they can do so at work, especially if the saving is done through automatic payroll deductions. AARP has worked to pass similar programs in states around the country as part of our efforts to ensure financial security for older adults. Nevada, Minnesota, Missouri and Vermont all passed work-and-save laws last year. AARP-backed savings programs in New Jersey and Delaware are launching this summer after being enacted in 2019 and 2022 , respectively. Read more about Rhode Island Secure Choice and keep up with AARP’s retirement coverage . Visit our State Retirement Resource Center for more information about state-facilitated retirement savings programs. Natalie Missakian covers federal and state policy and writes AARP’s Fighting for You Every Day blog. She previously worked as a reporter for the New Haven Register and daily newspapers in Ohio . She has also written for the AARP Bulletin, the Hartford Business Journal and other publications .
