Listen to this segment with Travel Expert Stephanie Abrams and Vikki Corliss from InsureMyTrip.com talking about holiday travel tips and advice to help your year end journeys go smoothly and safely. Be sensible when choosing your carry-on luggage items as the size of the overhead compartments continues to shrink and unmanageable carryon items slow the boarding process as travelers struggle to load the overhead bins. Be sure to follow the airlines carry-on rules and be aware that not every airline has the same sizing regulations and international carriers will have vastly different rules. Vikki also stresses the importance of travel insurance as reimbursement protection against delays, medical cancellation and unexpected expenses related to travel that travel insurance can protect against.

Vikki Corliss shares some great holiday travel tips and advice with us in this segment. First, plan ahead and arrive ahead of schedule at the airport as lines may be longer and unexpected delays can hamper your holiday plans. Don't travel with gift wrapped items as they TSA may unwrap them if in checked luggage or make you unwrap them at the security line if they are in carry-on items. Make sure you get to the airport at least 2 hours before domestic flights and 3 hours before international departures. Travel Expert Stephanie Abrams also offers some holiday travel advice.

Weather conditions, unexpected work schedules, illness or changing plans can all cause trip and travel cancellations and changes. "Cancel for any reason" travel insurance policies allow users to cancel a trip prior to departure. Typically the traveler should cancel 24 to 48 hours prior to the start of the trip and purchase travel insurance at the same time the travel is purchased. With Cancel for Any Reason insurance you can cancel for any reason at all, or no reason at all! For cancellations or trip delays just prior to travel, such as illness, weather delays or other types of travel interruption standard travel insurance would apply.

Its important to consider Group Travel insurance because a delay affects not just an individual but the entire group! Also, consider that special package discounts that include rental car, hotel, meals, tour guides and other services don't apply to extra days you need to extend your travel due to delay, cancellations, etc. So that extra day might cost half as much (or more) as the entire 7 day package deal..

Active winter sports trips require a different mind set than the average beach vacation. Your equipment may be lost, stolen or delayed in transport. Your ski or snow board equipment might arrive broken or damaged so you might need to rent or take extra time and divert to a different city to buy new equipment. Maybe you are skiing outside of the country and you are injured, but you do not have overseas medical coverage. Or perhaps you can't even get to the slopes because of heavy snow or inclement weather.
