For those planning a vacation in 2023, AAA Texas has the following tips:

• When considering accommodation, consider booking a suite or villa rather than individual guest rooms, especially if you are traveling as a family. This can often cost less while providing more spacious rooms.

• Book travel protection plans to ensure you are covered against the unexpected.

• Book activities or shore excursions in advance as they are likely to sell out.

• When traveling abroad, passports must be valid for at least six months prior to your return. AAA Travel can help you get your passport quickly and also take pictures.

• Always carry a change of clothes, medicines, itinerary and any other essentials in your hand luggage.

• Consider arriving a day before the formal start of your tour or cruise and/or staying a day late by booking a hotel so you are not too rushed or tired to enjoy your holiday.

• Arrive at the airport early. Recommended time for domestic flights is 2+ hours, for international flights 3+ hours.

• Check with your travel advisor for other vital information regarding your destination.
