Stress-free travel tip no. 10

Check-in before you leave home. Many airlines now allow travelers to check-in for their flights from home. Often times, you can check in up to 24 hours before your flight, select your seats in advance and indicate how much baggage you'll be checking. This new feature allows you to print your boarding pass at home, and skip the long check-in lines at the airport. Check with your airline to see if they offer this time-saving option.
