Plan ahead when traveling overseas

Traveling to another country is exciting, but there are a lot of factors to consider before booking an international flight.

Important things to take into account:

– Unlike the U.S., public transportation in other countries is often closed on public holidays, which can complicate travel plans.

– Holidays abroad don’t always line up with American holidays. Some countries celebrate public holidays like St. Stephen’s Day or Boxing Day, and restaurants, stores and tourist attractions may be closed as well.

– Luggage size restrictions can differ in various countries, so what fits the rules when you go may not fit when you return.
