A good article recommending longer layovers than recommended by an airline. I would rather have clients with longer layovers enjoying a meal than looking at their watch praying they are going to make the next flight.

Missing a connecting flight due to a shortened layover is a travel nightmare. Here's how to avoid layover trouble from the jump.

Be sure to download the Mobile Passport Control or MPC app for international travel. It saved our team returning from Ecuador via Miami a ton of time clearing customs. The MPC line was faster than the global entry line.
You will complete your customs questions and submit. You will them have a confirmation on your phone for the customs officer. Easy Peasy!

I am so very thankful to be a part of the Gifted Travel Network as my host agency. Not only do I have great travel partners, exclusive Hôtel programs for my clients but I have the full support of an amazing team of travel professionals. I attended our annual conference at the Ballantyne Resort September 8-11 and learned so much to better serve my clients.
Thankful they always have our back. ♥️

Why do I want or need a travel advisor? I’ve had this question asked dozens of times in my 44 years as a advisor. This morning answers that question again. When wild fires in Alaska forced Princess Cruises to cancel the pre-cruise land tour beginning tomorrow, clients were thankful to have someone handle the details of a new hotel stay and train tickets. I was on the phone with Princess for almost two hours instead of my client. He was working.
If you have a good travel advisor, stay with them. They will have your back.
