A flight expert's hot take on holiday travel: 'Don't do it'

It's stressful to fly around the holidays. Airports are packed, tickets are expensive and bad weather can cause significant flight delays and cancellations.

So, if you have to travel, is there an optimal time to do so? Scott Keyes, founder of the travel site Going.com (formerly known as Scott's Cheap Flights), shares his recommendations, including days to avoid and the best time of day to fly.

Don't travel around Thanksgiving and Christmas

"It's one of the worst times to travel," he says, due to flight disruptions, crowds at the airport and ticket prices. "My secret, best advice for travel over the holidays is: if at all possible, just don't do it."

If you have to fly for the holidays, do it on the day itself

"You just see far fewer people traveling then," says Keyes. "And with fewer people, you can see lower fares and fewer disruptions," including delays and cancellations. So think about booking tickets to depart or arrive on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve or New Year's Day.

Traveling for the holidays? 7 tips to help you keep your cool

Avoid peak travel days.

For a lot of folks, the whole point of traveling during this time of year is to be with family on the actual holiday, says Keyes. "So the busiest and most crowded times [to travel] are going to be in the few days leading up to the holiday. Think Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving and December 21st, 22nd and 23rd around Christmas."

A travel delay that stretches out over a few days, like a snowstorm, can quickly ruin a trip, he adds. "That's when you're going to have the most competition with other travelers" for a limited amount of seats if you're trying to rebook a flight.

To avoid this situation, Keyes recommends flying a few days before or after these peak travel times. So instead of flying on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, you might consider traveling a few days earlier.

Travel in January — the 8th, to be precise

If you can wait, travel in January, says Keyes. You will probably have a much better flight experience.

Keyes even has a preferred date for that month: Jan. 8, he adds. "It's my favorite date of the entire year. I circle that date on the calendar because whereas flight prices really get inflated over the Christmas-New Year period, around Jan. 8, they just fall off a cliff from the most expensive time of the entire year to the absolute cheapest."

Ticket prices, while "extremely volatile," can drop 75-80%, he says. For example, a nonstop, roundtrip ticket from Los Angeles to Tokyo from Dec. 22-29 costs $1,996, according to Google Flights. But if you took that trip from Jan. 10-17, the fare dips to $427 — a nearly 80% discount. And while a nonstop, roundtrip ticket from New York City to Miami from Dec. 24-Jan. 1 costs $608, it's only $138 from Jan. 9-16 — a 77% discount.

Planning a trip? Here's how to pack like a pro

Planning a trip? Here's how to pack like a pro

Take an early and direct flight.

"There are two types of flights that have the highest odds of getting you to where you're going on time or at least without a major delay: early morning flights and nonstop flights," says Keyes.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation's Air Travel Consumer Report for October, flights between 6-7 a.m. had a nearly 90% on-time departure rate, versus 64% for flights between 5-11 p.m.

With morning flights, "your plane [has been] at the airport overnight. It's sitting there and ready to go when you get there in the morning," he says. Afternoon flights, on the other hand, depend on planes that are flying in from somewhere else and may be subject to delays.

Direct flights have the advantage of not having layovers. "If you take a connecting flight that gets delayed an hour and a half but you only had a one-hour layover, all of a sudden you've missed your connecting flight and you have to get rebooked" — not an easy feat during the holiday season.

Prepare yourself for potential flight disruptions that may keep you at the airport. Keyes likes to pack "noise-canceling headphones and a little snack box, because frankly, airport food is not very memorable," he says. And he likes to download a few books and movies to his iPad — "just in case I'm having to hang out at the airport longer than expected."

Valdrakken Quick Travel Portal to the Emerald Dream - Account-Wide Unlock

Shortcut valdrakken emerald dream portal, original ohn'ahran plains emerald dream portal, comment by drgergqag.

It would be nice to get a bread crumb quest to teach us about this in game. I was using the regular portal in the plains.

Comment by Coofer

It would be nice to get a bread crumb quest to teach us about this in game. I was using the regular portal in the plains. Me too, LOL.

Comment by Swalshy4

What about a portal to the DMF

Comment by Droel

Wtf are u doing Blizz... Give us a portal back or something. Same stuff like Zaralek Cavern, lack of transportation, why dont u add those tower teleports at least to new zones that are connected to Dragonflight expefition renown like u did to Forbidden reach Or add some toy teleport, every Sl new zone had a portal to and from, why did u move to this trend now.

Comment by Magemushroom

What about portal from emerald dream to valdrakken?

Comment by Dekardcaiin

Since the new zone has an innkeeper, I just set that as my home and used the Dal hearthstone if I need to get the stormwind in order to get to the darkmoon fair for a rep buff or to get just about anywhere else.

Comment by Jnowak12

Since the new zone has an innkeeper, I just set that as my home and used the Dal hearthstone if I need to get the stormwind in order to get to the darkmoon fair for a rep buff or to get just about anywhere else. Just use your Guild Cloak to get to SW. Dalaran Hearthstone when that is on cooldown.

Comment by thorr69

Why in gods' green farg is this a ONE WAY portal?

Comment by Jerhomie

This is neat, but I already just set my hearthstone to the Emerald Dream. While we’re at it, was there ever any kind of short cut to Loamm or somewhere in Zaralek that I might have missed? That flight path down there is one of the reasons I never finished my renown with the Niffen.

Comment by Eighjan

At least the flight to Loamm is a short/cheap one; cheaper/shorter than to the ar... back end of Ohn'aran Plain.

Comment by katkaly

What about a portal to the DMF Go to a major city and find the NPC that teleports you there for the cost of 1 silver.

Comment by Honkaman

No portal back to Valdrakken? Oh well, but with 3 different hearthstones, it's just a mere inconvenient technicality lol Thanks Blizzard 😑

Comment by kodora1316

It would be nice to get a bread crumb quest to teach us about this in game. I was using the regular portal in the plains. Me too, LOL. Same here

Comment by Cribble2k

That flight path down there is one of the reasons I never finished my renown with the Niffen. Wasn't there a toy item that teleports you to Loamm, from anywhere in the caverns (including the tunnels)?

Comment by Brogash

Thanks for this i had no idea and had already come to accept that i will have to fly this i wouldnt wanna have learned about this 2 months from now

Comment by tarc

  • Valdrakken portal to either Orgrimmar or Stormwind.
  • Take the portal to old Dalaran
  • DMF NPC is right down the stairs.

Comment by Rasboinica

jesus, why no breadcrumb quest....

Comment by Leobentobox

Comment by landai.

While I agree there should be a breadcrumb quest for the portal to the Dream in Valdrakken, I don't see why they would do a portal back to Valdrakken. Set your hearthstone to Valdrakken and hearth back when youre done in the dream... Not everything should be a portal. If you find yourself going back and forth to the point your hearthstone isn't on CD, plan your time better lol. If that doesn't work for you, main a Mage so your hearthstone can always be the current end-game zone, or hell just ask a Mage for a portal. Take the win for the portal to the dream, and stop demanding everything be instantaneous.

The best hangers for travel

Hangers might be one of the most difficult items to pack. If you have ever moved and needed to find a way to transport your hangers, you’re likely familiar with the awkward task of trying to jam these long and pointy items inside of a box or a suitcase.

Traditional hangers just don't fit tidily inside of carry-on luggage or duffel bags the way your toiletries and sweaters do. However, there are many reasons one needs a good set of hangers when on the road. Fortunately, durable travel hangers, such as the Hikeman Heavy Duty Travel Hangers , collapse for storage, making them ideal for sojourners.

What to know before you buy hangers for travel

Your hotel might not have enough.

While many hotels and rentals provide some hangers, rarely do they provide enough. It’s common to open the closet door in your accommodations to find just four or five hangers. However, if you’re there for a long visit, you probably have far more than four or five items that need to be hung. Folding them up and stashing them in drawers will earn you the tiresome task of having to iron those garments each time you need to wear them, so it’s wise to bring your own hangers.

Some garments shouldn’t be packed

You might have no issue with tossing your jeans, T-shirts and underwear in your suitcase , but some items should not be packed, even when traveling. A wedding dress is an excellent example. A wedding dress should remain fully unraveled at all times, even during transport. This type of item is too delicate and too important to be smashed inside of a suitcase. So if you have a multi-leg trip with a wedding dress in tow, you'll want to keep a travel hanger with you. Having a travel hanger on hand will allow you to ask the flight or train staff to kindly hang your dress for you in a coat closet.

Travel hangers free up storage space

You could attempt to pack some of your regular hangers for travel, but if space in your luggage is at a premium — like when you’re limiting yourself to a carry-on bag to avoid checked bag fees — full-size hangers won’t do. Only travel hangers can collapse down to a fraction of their unfurled size, saving precious room inside of a suitcase.

Hangers for travel features

Ergonomic shape.

It’s important that your travel hangers are ergonomically designed so they support the shape of your garments. Those that are too straight or too narrow can cause shirts and blouses to sag. Some travel hangers can be adjusted to follow the shape of your clothing, making them versatile and appropriate for several types of garments.

Nonslip materials

Opening your closet to find that some of your clothes have fallen onto the floor can be very frustrating. The idea behind hanging clothes up is to prevent wrinkles, but if clothes slide off of hangers, it’s all for nothing. Make sure your travel hangers have nonslip surfaces to stop clothes from sliding off. Some will have ridges along the surface to keep clothes in place (particularly straps), while others might have a slightly sticky texture.

Travel hangers will endure much more wear and tear than the hangers you keep at home. Between folding, unfolding, being packed beneath other items and being tossed around by TSA, your travel hangers will go through a lot. Look for ones made of durable material such as metal or ABS plastic. Make sure the hinges and joints are strong since these will get a lot of use.

Hangers for travel cost

Hangers for travel typically come in sets, and these sets can range from $10-$40 depending on the material and hanger count.

Hangers for travel FAQ

Can travel hangers hold heavy items.

A. Whether or not travel hangers can support heavy items is entirely reliant on their materials and build. Similar to stationary hangers, travel hangers made from strong materials, such as metal or wood, are more capable of holding heavy items than thin plastic hangers.

Do travel hanger hooks swivel?

A. Some travel hangers have hooks that swivel and some do not. If this is a feature that is important to you, check the item description before making your purchase.

Which hangers for travel should I get?

Best of the best hangers for travel.

Hikeman Heavy Duty Travel Hangers: available at Amazon

Our take: Made with metal and sturdy hinges, these hangers should stand the test of time.

What we like: Their metal design doesn't only make these hangers long-lasting but it also makes them windproof so they're ideal for air-drying clothing outdoors. They have small grooves at their ends to prevent straps from sliding off and durable hinges at the folding points.

What we dislike: The full length when extended is a bit short.

Best bang for your buck hangers for travel

Trubetter Portable Folding Clothes Hangers: available at Amazon

Our take: This set has 10 highly adjustable and customizable hangers at a budget-friendly price.

What we like: The colorful and durable hangers in this 10-piece set can be oriented in several ways, allowing users to either create a groove at the ends or a hump depending on their needs. They are ergonomically shaped and fold down quite small.

What we dislike: They might not hold heavy items.

Honorable mention hangers for travel

TUMI Durable Reversible Travel Hangers: available at Amazon

Our take: This two-piece set has features that make it ideal for holding a suit jacket and pants.

What we like: Traveling professionals can count on these hangers to keep their suits looking impeccable for big meetings. Each one has a bottom bar for holding trousers and a reversible square hook for garment bags. They're made of metal and should hold up to plenty of use.

What we dislike: The set is expensive for having only two hangers. Julia Austin is a writer for BestReviews. BestReviews is a product review company with a singular mission: to help simplify your purchasing decisions and save you time and money.

Best hangers for travel

WHICH HANGER FOR TRAVEL IS BEST? 

Hangers should keep your garments and accessories organized as well as clean and wrinkle- free. For hanging clothes on the go, another consideration comes into play, and that is space. Managing your space when packing can be tricky, but it doesn't have to be if you use a travel hanger. When in pursuit of the best hanger for travel to keep your clothes organized and out of the way while you look your best, consider what the hanger is made from, how large the hanger is and how much adjustability it provides when packing. 

If you are looking for an adjustable hanger that is sturdy as well as efficiently storable, the JSF Portable Travel Clothing Hanger is the top choice.

What to know before you buy a hanger for travel

Material .

Depending on the type of plastic and its thickness, this material will be most convenient when traveling with hangers . For the sake of the environment, consider reusing the plastic hangers and passing them down when you are done with them for sustainability purposes. Plastic hangers are the worst for the environment, but will be more adjustable and easily stored compared to wooden or wire hangers. Though wire hangers are a good option for your home closet, they are less durable and may not hold heavy clothing on the go. Adjustable plastic hangers also feature notches to keep clothes in place and do not rust over time. 

The size of the hanger is vital when considering which brand you will pack to travel. Large hangers can take up space needed for other necessities in a suitcase. When selecting hangers for travel, consider hangers that fold to be a smaller size rather than a normal hanger. A standard hanger length can be anywhere from 17 to 18 inches long. But for maximum portability, travelers should aim for hangers that are half this length. When traveling, purchase hangers that come in the form of clips or those that fold to half their size and provide adjustable functions. 

Space 

A good travel hanger will save you space when packing for your next adventure. Consider how much space you generally have in your suitcase before purchasing a hanger. If you know that you will have a lot of space in your travel bag and prefer normal hangers, then there will be no need to waste resources and purchase a new one. However, if you constantly find yourself needing luggage space, opt for a hanger that is small, foldable and can be stored in minimal places for ease of access and to leave room for other items in your bag. 

What to look for in a quality hanger for travel

Portable .

A good hanger for travel will be able to fit into any storage space and will be easy to take from one trip to the next. Some hangers are able to be folded to fit into smaller spaces, and some come with their own storage bags. When purchasing a hanger for travel, consider how it will fit into various spaces when you are looking to save room for larger items on a trip. 

Adjustable 

A hanger for travel should feature an adjustability setting that allows it to shrink in size. Whether that be a button that allows the hanger to fold or a hanger that inflates and deflates when not in use, this feature is vital when looking to save space for travel. Consider purchasing a hanger that folds and adjusts to save space when traveling. 

Tiers 

Hangers that fold into tiers are great for saving space in closets and suitcases alike. You will need to remove clothing in layers from the tiers, which takes more time than using a regular hanger, but if your overall goal is to save space when traveling, consider a tiered hanger. Tiered hangers also often feature notching and ribbing to keep clothing with straps from slipping when hung. 

How much you can expect to spend on a hanger for travel

Hangers for travel can vary in price depending on their materials, features and the number of hangers that come in a pack. A less expensive model with fewer features will cost around $4-$8, while a more portable model with the best material and features will be priced around $12-$18. 

Hanger for travel FAQ

What clothes should i hang on a hanger when traveling.

A . Dresses, jackets, pants, blouses and linen and flowy fabrics need to be hung when traveling. Some items can be hung or folded based on how you want the item to look when you wear it and how much closet space you have at your destination. 

What clothes should I avoid hanging when traveling?

A. Avoid hanging clothes that are made of stretchy material; it can further stretch the fabric. Be selective about what you hang due to space.
