The airport is the hub of modern day travel.  This hub can also get you off to a bad start as you may find your budget takes a premature hit!  Plan ahead and save that money for something much more exciting by following our quick tips:

1. Eat before you get to the airport Airport food is expensive and sometimes the selection is not what you are looking for so eat before you arrive and bring a snack with you to eat before heading through security.
2. Take only a personal item and a carry on It is faster, cheaper, and easier to skip checking luggage if you can manage it.  Otherwise combine with fellow travelers to avoid paying bag fees.
