(Newswire.net — April 11, 2016) — The summer vacation season is almost upon us. It’s that time of year when the weather is beginning to improve, the flowers are in bloom, and we are looking forward to our two weeks away from it all.
Nothing beats a fantastic summer vacation. It is a chance to unwind, enjoy a bit of sunshine, relax with family, and chill out. Lots of families head to the beach for their annual summer break, but if you are not a beach person, you might prefer taking a trip into the mountains, or booking a relaxing break in a secluded health retreat where internet access is banned. Before you go anywhere, however, it is a good idea to plan your packing so that you can look fabulous in the departure lounge.
The Benefits of Dressing Up for a Vacation
You might be wondering why on earth dressing up to go on vacation is important, but whilst some people are happy to turn up at the airport check-in desk in a pair of yoga pants and some flip-flops, it is well worth making an effort. Smart passengers are more likely to score an upgrade to a better class of travel and if you are single, you could catch the eye of an attractive fellow passenger if you are dressed to thrill. So what have you got to lose?
Here are five ways to stand out in the departure lounge, so try a few out and see if it improves your summer vacation.
1. Wear Dark Shades
Celebrity travelers always wear dark shades when passing through an airport. Dark shades create a sense of mystery, plus they are a useful barrier against lurking paparazzi. The good news is that you don’t need to be a celebrity to wear dark shades at the check-in desk. They are also useful if you are feeling a bit weary following an early start.
2. Use a Designer Carry-on Case
Always pack your personal items in a designer carry-on case. This will set you apart from the rest of the passengers and ensure your precious belongings are not damaged.
3. Wear a Trendy Outfit
You should always dress to impress, for the reasons outlined above. Check out online boutique clothing stores for the latest fashions. Comfort is important when travelling, but you can be comfortable AND fashionable if you buy the right outfits.
4. Dress the Kids in Matching Outfits
If you have ever seen that old classic, The Sound of Music, you will know how eye-catching matching outfits for kids can be. The more kids you have, the more effective this strategy will be. It also makes it easier to keep your children in plain sight.
5. Cause a Disturbance
Whilst causing a disturbance in the airport departure lounge is not normally recommended, in some instances it can be useful. Don’t let check-in staff bully you into waiting for the next flight if yours is oversubscribed. Instead, make a huge fuss and they will probably find you a seat.
Follow the above tips and you will have a great summer vacation this year. Bon voyage!
