🍂✈️ WHY SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER MIGHT BE THE BEST TIME TO TRAVEL

Everyone talks about summer vacations and holiday travel…

But can I let you in on a little travel secret?

Shoulder season. 👏

September and October can be an AMAZING time to get away, depending on where you're headed.

Here’s why I love it:

🍂 Fewer crowds
Popular destinations can feel a little less hectic once the peak summer rush is over. More room to actually enjoy the place you're visiting!

💰 Potentially better value
Flights and hotels can sometimes be more affordable outside of peak travel periods, giving you more opportunities to stretch your vacation budget.

🌤️ More comfortable weather
In many destinations, you can trade those hot summer temperatures for cooler, more comfortable days that are perfect for exploring.

🏨 More availability
Less demand can mean more choices when it comes to hotels, room types, tours and experiences.

🍷 Seasonal experiences
Fall brings its own magic! Think harvest season, changing leaves, seasonal food and w**e, local festivals and experiences you simply can't have at other times of the year.

📸 Better vacation photos
Less crowded streets, beautiful fall scenery and gorgeous golden-hour light? Yes, please!

🌎 And here's the BEST part…

Shoulder season isn't just about saving money.
It's about having a different kind of travel experience.
Slowing down.
Exploring without feeling rushed.
Actually sitting at that little café instead of waiting in a crowd.
Taking the scenic route.
And enjoying the destination instead of feeling like you're competing with everyone else who had the same vacation idea.

So if you've been saying…
“I really want to take a trip, but summer is over…”

I say GOOD. 😂

You may have just entered one of my favorite times of the travel year.

👇 Where would you go this September or October if you could escape?

Europe? 🇪🇺
Costa Rica? 🌴
A cruise? 🚢
An all-inclusive? 🏝️
A cozy mountain getaway? 🍁
Somewhere completely new? 🌎

✈️ TSA PRECHECK COULD GET EVEN BETTER! 💧

Imagine heading through airport security with your TSA PreCheck membership AND being able to bring your full water bottle with you. 🙌

That could be coming!

The Transportation Security Administration is actively considering allowing TSA PreCheck passengers to bring water bottles through security at select airports in the coming months.

The change would initially be tested at airports with newer CT screening technology and automated detection systems that can distinguish water from other liquids and identify potential threats.

💧 Why this could be a game changer for travelers:
✔️ No buying an overpriced bottle of water after security
✔️ Stay hydrated from the moment you arrive at the airport
✔️ Less time spent dealing with liquids at the checkpoint
✔️ One more reason frequent travelers love TSA PreCheck

⚠️ Important: This isn't a nationwide change just yet. The proposal is expected to start at select airports with the right screening technology, so always check the current rules before you travel.

And remember, TSA PreCheck already gives travelers access to a faster, more streamlined screening experience at participating airports.

Would being able to take your water bottle through security make TSA PreCheck even more appealing to you? 💧✈️

✈️ Charleston, here they come! 🌴✨

Today, my clients are in Charleston, South Carolina for a few days of exploring, relaxing, good food, and Southern charm!

They’ll be staying at a lovely Marriott property right along the river, giving them a beautiful place to unwind after a day of discovering everything Charleston has to offer. 🌊🏨

There’s just something special about a getaway where you can slow down, explore a new city, enjoy great meals, and make a few memories along the way.

And I love being the person behind the scenes helping make it all come together. ❤️

Enjoy every minute of your Charleston escape! I can’t wait to hear what your favorite part of the trip is! 🥂🌴

🍂✈️ If you could escape somewhere this fall…where would you go?

Fall might just be one of my favorite times to travel. The summer crowds are starting to thin, the weather can be more comfortable, and there are SO many ways to experience a destination beyond the typical summer vacation.

So I have two very different fall escapes for you…

🇪🇺 EUROPE IN THE FALL

Picture this:
🍷 W**e harvests in Tuscany
🥐 Coffee and pastries at a sidewalk café in Paris
🏛️ Exploring historic cities without the peak-summer crowds
🍂 Golden foliage and charming countryside
🍝 Long dinners featuring seasonal cuisine
🚶‍♀️ Comfortable days spent wandering cobblestone streets

September and October can be an incredible time to experience Europe, particularly if you want culture, food, history and beautiful scenery without the intensity of the summer season.

🌴 OR…COSTA RICA?

Trade your fall leaves for rainforest greens!

🌿 Lush rainforests
🦥 Sloths, monkeys & incredible wildlife
🌋 Volcanoes and hot springs
🌊 Beaches
🧗‍♀️ Ziplining & adventure
🌺 Incredible scenery
☕️ Coffee plantations
🌧️ And yes…the green season can bring rain, but that rain is part of what makes Costa Rica so incredibly lush.

If you're looking for adventure + nature + relaxation, Costa Rica deserves a spot on your fall travel list.

So tell me…
👇 WHICH FALL ESCAPE SOUNDS MORE LIKE YOU?

🇪🇺 EUROPE — Give me the food, w**e, culture & history!
🌴 COSTA RICA — Give me the rainforest, wildlife & adventure!

And if you're thinking, “Honestly, I'd take either one!” 😂 — that's where I come in.

Travel Tip Tuesday!

✈️🎄 Planning to Travel for the Holidays? Don’t Wait Too Long to Book!

If holiday travel is on your calendar, now is the time to start watching those flights closely.

📅 Domestic travel: Aim to have your flights booked by September 10 if you know your dates and destination.

🌎 International travel: If you haven’t booked yet, ASAP is the better strategy. Holiday airfare can climb quickly as availability gets tighter.

And remember: the “cheapest flight” isn’t always the best flight. Your departure times, connections, baggage, airport options, and flexibility can all make a difference.

💙 Not sure when to book or which flights make the most sense? That’s where having a travel advisor in your corner can help.

Don’t let holiday travel become a last-minute scramble. 🎁✈️

✈️ WAIT… YOU CAN GO TO THE GATE WITHOUT A PLANE TICKET?! 👀

Remember when you could actually walk your loved one all the way to the gate? Or meet someone right when they stepped off the plane?

Well… that experience is making a comeback! 🎉

The TSA has launched a new pilot program called Gateside by TSA PreCheck® — and it could be a game changer for airport goodbyes, reunions, and even a little airport dining. ❤️✈️

Here’s how it works:
🎟️ No plane ticket? No problem.
If you're an eligible TSA PreCheck member, you can request a Gateside pass to enter the secure side of a participating airport.
👋 Walk your loved one to the gate before they take off.
🥹 Meet family or friends at their gate when they arrive.
🍽️ Grab a meal or do some shopping in the post-security terminal.
🧳 Need to accompany someone who may need extra help? This can make the airport experience much easier.

There is a catch — this isn't a walk-up pass. You must apply 1–3 days before your planned visit, receive approval, and go through TSA screening.

And it's currently a pilot program at select U.S. airports, with more expected to be added as the program rolls out.

👀 Arizona travelers, take note: Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA) is one of the initial participating airports!

Airports have become so much about rushing through security, finding your gate, and saying goodbye at the curb.
Maybe it's time we bring back a little of the human side of travel.

Would you use Gateside to walk someone to their gate or meet them when they arrive? 👇

✈️ Travel Tip: If you're planning a trip through a participating airport, check the Gateside requirements BEFORE you head to the airport. Approval is required and isn't guaranteed.
