Holiday Travel Season Is In! Here’s Your Ultimate Checklist for a Trip That’s Worth It
For many of us, a holiday trip isn’t just a break – it’s the moment we look forward to all year, the hard-earned vacation after months of juggling work. But as every traveler knows, holiday travel often brings added stress. With hotel and flight bookings filling up fast, experiences selling out quickly, and larger crowds of travelers everywhere, the trip you’ve been anticipating can easily become stressful.
This year, make it different. A truly worthwhile holiday trip starts with being prepared for everything. As you start getting ready, check out these four pro tips to make sure that every second of this long-awaited trip is worth it.
- Arrive earlier than normal during the holiday rush
With reports of long lines at the bag drop and longer queues at immigration, traveling during the holidays calls for being just a little bit earlier than usual – and doing everything you can ahead of time.
Check in online through your airline’s app or website, complete your e-travel in advance, and keep all your documents organized in one secure, easy-access pouch with digital copies also ready and saved on your phone. A few extra steps of preparation can save you a lot of airport stress later.
- Leave a little room for spontaneous moments
Theme parks, ski passes, and city tours sell out fast in December. Of course, it helps as early as possible – but sometimes, even that can’t be helped. Here’s a pro tip: when planning your itinerary for a city or area, secure at least one main activity—the non-negotiable experience you really want to do—then leave space for spontaneous adventures and exploring on your own.
- Monitor the weather, and pack for it
Experiencing a “white Christmas” is on many people’s bucket lists this year. If you’re flying to Seoul, Nagoya, New York, or any other snowy destination, make sure you’ve packed your thermals, layers, and warm socks. Also, have a coat ready at the plane, so you don’t get too cold upon arrival!
- Use GCash to pay for an ultimate guilt-free, shock-free spending holiday
One of the biggest
stressors while traveling is managing expenses. Bill shock from credit cards,
unexpectedly high exchange rates, hidden fees, and overspending that you only
realize weeks later can quickly disrupt a trip meant to be relaxing. This year,
you can avoid all that with GCash and by following its simple shock-proof,
worry-proof shopping method: Scan-Swipe-Tap.
Scan: Pay with GCash to Scan to Pay at merchants
abroad. Simply look for the Alipay+ logo when paying in-store or ordering at
restaurants. This way, you don’t need to scramble for cash, and you can even
unlock exclusive promos along the way!
Swipe: You can also pay with the GCash Visa Card abroad, especially for the bigger items you’ve saved up for. Unlike credit cards with high FX fees, there are no additional charges with the GCash Visa Card. Your transactions are automatically recorded in-app, so you always see how much you’ve spent – no bill shock.
Tap: For Android users, take your payments even
further with the new GCash Tap to Pay feature. Just tap your phone on any
NFC-enabled terminal and pay within seconds – perfect for major shopping hubs
and seamless checkouts in crowded places where convenience is key.
Don’t forget these 4
pro-tips and make sure you Scan–Swipe–Tap for a trip that’s easier, lighter,
and truly worth it—just as a holiday should be.
