Travelocity's Top 10 Thanksgiving Travel Tips

Don't check your luggage.  Let's face it, all you're really going to wear on Thanksgiving is a pair of elastic sweatpants so there's no need to lug a giant suitcase along.  By carrying on all of your luggage you'll avoid those dreaded 'checked bag fees' so popular with airlines these days, and you won't have to waste time at the luggage carousel.

Divide and conquer your carry-ons.  Remember: Everyone that you're traveling with, from an adult to the tiniest toddler, is allowed two pieces of carry-on luggage. Divvy up your belongings among everyone and keep any fragile items under the seat in front of you.  In the busy rush of take-off, items in the overhead bin aren't always handled with care.

Get on Twitter.  If you weren't a fan of Twitter before, you should be now.  The holiday travel season is full of unexpected changes due to weather and heavy crowds and Twitter is the best way for airlines to communicate updates to the masses.  Follow @Travelocity's Turkey Task Force use hashtag #ttf to keep track of delays and cancellations at the ten busiest airports in the country.

Leave the cranberry sauce at home.  Whether you're a cranberry perserve or canned cranberry lover, the TSA doesn't really care.  Neither are allowed onboard.  However, your turkey is!  If you've got an item that you're thinking of bringing, use the MY TSA app feature "Can I bring?" to find out what's allowed.

Dont wrap gifts.  Your handy work may be torn to bits by a TSA Security Officer who is required to thoroughly inspect all packages.

Fly on the holiday.  If you can travel on Thanksgiving morning you'll get home just in time for dinner and avoid all of the chaos and long lines that travelers tend to experience the days leading up.

Compare surrounding airports.   Even if you live closer to one airport, a deeply discounted flight may be lurking at a nearby airport.  Always tick "Compare Surrounding Airports" when you're shopping online.

Load up your phone with travel apps.  Whether you're hunting for gas, looking to book a nearby hotel, or tracking a Superstorm, mobile apps can be a traveler's best friends.

Book a vacation package.  If you aren't crashing at grandma's, book a hotel and flight vacation package to maximize savings.  You could save up to $525!

Check-in online.  You'll save time, money and even be able to download your boarding pass to your smartphone all by checking in online.

From The November Newsletter of Consider Biking Activity Update:

BIG NEWS!  This month we learned that Westerville has been recognized as a Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists. Let's send our Congratulations to both Michael Hooper of the Parks Department and the Westerville Bicycle Club for all their work culminating in this prestigious recognition! 
Meanwhile, just a few miles to the west, Bryan Saums and Alex Smith joined a community panel providing feedback to a group of Graduate Students from the Ohio State University's City and Regional Planning program who presented a studio project for a potential new multi-use trail system on the far west side with a new bicycle hub.  The gathering was hosted by Chris Haydocy of Haydocy Automotive and we are thrilled with his unlimited enthusiasm for these improvements.  The reception for this project demonstrates that West side business leaders and residents understand the positive power of the pedal for economic development and quality of life! 

We Had A Great Turnout at Mid-Term Design Review!
