If You Travel From Our Gainesville Luxury Apartments This Holiday, Use These Tips to Save Time

Traveling during the holiday season can be difficult, with congested roads, packed airports, and crowded trains. In order to ensure an efficient and stress-free trip during this time of the year, there are a few tips you can use to make your trip more expedient. In fact, these tips may even help you find some interesting sights along the way.

One of the easiest ways to avoid holiday rushes is to plan your trip during nonpeak travel times. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are the most common travel days, so if your schedule permits, you can find less crowding when you travel between Monday and Thursday. Air fares during these days are generally lower as well so you may even save money if you plan to fly. If you travel by car during these times, it’s smart to stagger your trip in such a way that you avoid rush hours, which normally occur from around 7:30-9:30 a.m. and 5:00-7:00 p.m. in major metropolitan areas.

In fact, in many cases it’s a good plan to avoid major metropolitan centers altogether when driving around the holidays. The hubs between interstates are almost always near a major city and can quickly become jammed with a flood of holiday traffic. Often, using state roads and highways through the countryside to circumvent a city center can save you time and the hassle of dealing with traffic. You may also find a wide variety of businesses, attractions, restaurants, and scenery along these less-traveled paths, which will make your trip more exciting and interesting.
