Just around the corner, the holiday season is always the busiest time to travel, which often leads to trip distributions like flight delays and cancellations. Last year during the holidays, The Points Guy reports that 1 in 13 flights were canceled. To prepare for the busy season, Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection offers various policies to safeguard your holiday vacations so that you are protected against flight disruptions, medical emergencies and weather-related interferences.

Below are some of BHTP’s tips and tricks on how to navigate travel during the holidays:

• Book right away: Book your trip as soon as possible because the longer you wait, the more expensive the trip will be.
• Choose your flights wisely: Especially at smaller airports, the later in the day you fly the greater the risk of having a flight delayed or canceled.
• Wait to book your hotel: Waiting to book lodgings will allow you to access some of the best deals. However, high-demand areas like ski-resorts should be booked early to get the best deal.
• Fly Monday or Tuesday of the holiday weeks: Travelers can save up to $300 if they fly on a Monday or Tuesday and return the following week on a weekday.
• Book refundable flights and stays: Search terms like “free cancellation” or “reserve now, pay later” on your favorite online travel website.

No matter what travelers are planning over the holidays, BHTP has a plan to cover every vacation.
