During the holidays, airports and airlines are filled to capacity. Here are some things to keep in mind. Don t be fooled by airport security. Airports feel like safe places because of the presence of airport security, metal detectors, etc. This doesn t mean that there are not people in the airport who would steal from you.
Travelers make excellent targets because they are often tired and a little confused.
Keep items with you at all times and be aware of the people around you. Check, reconfirm, double check and triple confirm all of your reservations. Airlines frequently overbook flights. Hotels frequently oversell their rooms and rental car companies constantly take reservations for cars they don t have. To the traveler it just stinks.
