If you are flying out of LAX or San Jose International Airport, making sure you are on top of the status of your flight is a must.  Stop by FlightStats.com and check on your departing flight status.  While you are there don't forget you can reserve your airport parking with Airport Parking Connection.  You can find your favorite lax parking locations like AirPark LAX, Airport Center, QuikPark LAX, Fox Auto Parks, LAX Park Place, and The Park at LAX.  San Jose airport parking has much to offer as well such as, The Radisson Hotel, The Courtyard San Jose Airport, San Jose Double Tree, Park and Jet Airport Parking, Fast Airport Parking, and EZ Park Fly.  

Millions of Americans will hit the roads and the airways to head to various destinations during the Super Bowl and hit up favorite local sports to watch the big game and cheer on the New England Patriots and the New York Giants.  Travel can be quite stressful, with airports filled to the brim and cars jamming the roads. If you are planning to travel this season, there are a few things you need to know and have ready prior to leaving.

Travel by Plane

If you are going on a plane, there are a lot of things that you need to do to get ready. First, you want to pack smart. Do not stuff suitcases to the brim. If airport security needs to check your bags the process could end up taking a very long time if you have way too many things inside. Pack only what you need and cut down on the unnecessary extras.

Next, make sure that if you have any liquids or gels, including food items like jelly and salsa, in your carry-on that you have no more than 3.4 ounces. Any more than that and you will have to pack these items into your checked bag or leave them back at your home.

Plan where you will park before you leave for the airport. If you are flying out of Buffalo International Airport for example, you have several options to choose from:

• Valet Parking

Valet parking might be the most expensive option, but it is also the most seamless. All you have to do is drive right up to the valet, hand them your keys and you are ready to go. If you have the extra cash, this can be your best bet.  Airport Valet Parking at BUF is a great choice for this.

• Self-Parking

Self-parking takes quite a lot of time out of your day. You will have to drive around the lot to find a spot.  Then, if you are very far you will need to take a shuttle to your terminal. Allow plenty of time if this is the option you want to choose.

• Reserved Parking

You can get onto the airport website prior to your trip and reserve your parking spot with Airport Parking Connection. You can pay ahead of time and will be able to possibly get a very close spot, however this is a slightly more expensive option and it requires prior planning.  A great option is to reserve online with Thrifty Airport Parking at BUF.

Travel by Car

Depending on how far you are going to Indianapolis, you should make sure that you have plenty of gas for your road trip. Know your route so that you do not end up wasting a lot of time and energy driving to the wrong place. If necessary, get a GPS device, a good map or both so that you can take the best route to your travel destination.  Indianapolis International Airport may even have shuttles running to Lucas Oil Stadium where you can park at Ace Rent a Car or at Indy Park Ride & Fly and shuttle to the stadium.

Get your oil changed and a tune-up done prior to a long road trip. Check air pressure in the tires and ensure that everything is in good working order.

Hit the road at non-peak times (like rush hour) to avoid serious traffic jams. Pay close attention on the road and you will have a safe drive to your hometown or other destination.

Only a week and a half away from the football game of the year!  The Super Bowl is set to take place in Indianapolis, Indiana on February 5th with two of the mostly highly talked about sports teams of the season.  The New England Patriots will take on the New York Giants at Lucas Oil Stadium.  

If you have ever traveled for the Super Bowl, you know that it can be an expensive and yet completely worthwhile experience.  By this time, I am sure that flights have or are filling up as well as the airport parking constraints for the weekend.  If you are headed out this year, make sure you think ahead and get as many travel expenses reserved early as possible.  

One thing many people forget is to reserve their airport parking for their trip.  It will save you time and money, and you won't have to circle the airport risking missing your flight.  Reserve online with Airport Parking Connection.  Find airport parking deals at major airport lots out of LAX, JFK, EWR, LGA, SFO, ATL, and Denver International Airport.  

When to arrive at Indianapolis International Airport, grab a rental car with ACE Rent-a-Car and be on your way to the best game of the year!  

Whether or not you celebrated the Lunar New Year yesterday, there is plenty to celebrate and take part in in various parts of the country and the world.  It is the Year of the Dragon!  If you have the time and can travel, take a chance to experience the red decor and flower blossoms that promote good luck, fruitfullness and fertility.  If you are celebrating in San Francisco, take the streets and dance with the dragons to scar away bad and evil spirits, and at night light some firecrackers!  Anywhere you travel to celebrate, don't forget to make your celebration easier by reserving your airport parking with Airport Parking Connection.  

Whether you and your family are heading to your hometown for the holidays or are traveling to another vacation spot to spend a week or two, planning your trip is essential to having a great time. You may already be overloaded with things to think about this time of year, but taking the time to carefully plan out your trip can save you lots of time. You will worry less knowing that your vacation is well planned and you will have a much more enjoyable time when the details have been ironed out prior to leaving.

Figure out Where to Stay

If you are heading somewhere that friends or relatives live, consider asking to stay with them. Not only do you save a lot of money, but you also get the added bonus of bonding with people that you do not get to see very often. Asking friends or relatives also eliminates the need to research a hotel, because you know that staying with them is safe and comfortable.

If you are going to be staying in a hotel, make sure to read online reviews to ensure that the place where you will stay is recommended and is safe. You also want to check out cleanliness ratings and other imperative information. Nothing can put a damper on a vacation more than staying in a filthy, dangerous hotel.

Make Travel Arrangements

If you plan to drive to your destination, make sure that you know exactly where you are going. Get road maps and plot out your trip. Take the time to look online for any road construction that could interfere with your driving route. Also, use a GPS device in your car to give you added confidence that you are going the right way.

If you plan on flying, book your flights about 2-3 months in advance since you will be traveling during the peak holiday rush. Choose a flight that fits in best with the times that you need to depart and arrive. Make sure to check out all of the things you will need to know to get through the airport safely. These important factors, such as what time to arrive and what identification is necessary for every family member should be planned for ahead of time.  You can usually find this information by checking out the airport's website like Boston Logan International Airport.

Before driving to the airport, make sure you have a parking plan. Parking can be tricky at the airport if you do not know what you are doing. You can drive right up and have a valet park your vehicle in long term parking, but be prepared to pay top dollar.  

You can also use the self-park option and then take the airport shuttle to your terminal. This option saves money, but not time. Get there early enough if this is your parking plan.

Reserved parking can be done ahead of time online and is a great option if you do not want to allow for extra time at the airport. You will pay online and will be ready to go when you arrive when you reserve your Boston airport parking with Airport Parking Connection.  

A little planning goes a long way to having a pleasant and safe holiday vacation.  Don't wait, check out Select Airport Valet at BOS today.
