Preparing for Busy Summer Air Travel
“I always carry on — no matter where I’m going. If I have to buy a few things or use the hotel’s laundry, I do it. That way, I avoid the biggest pain point for airlines: baggage handling. And when it comes to flight times, the first or last flights of the day are the most likely to be on time.”
— Carl Gould, business strategist and travel efficiency expert on FOX 5 DC
