Plan ahead
Before you embark on your trip, try to think ahead about each leg of the journey and what it will entail so that you can anticipate your needs. If you think you’re going to be doing a lot of walking on your vacation you’ll probably want to take a stroller; however every airline has a different stroller policy and you may be forced to check it along with your baggage which could result in a complicated trip to the gate and make you wish you’d opted for a baby carrier instead. By thinking ahead about each part of your journey and doing your research, you can be prepared for whatever situation you may find yourself in.
