Honeymoon Travels Make Destination Weddings Attractive
Probably the worst aspect of heading to some exotic location after getting married is the time spent on honeymoon travels and a majority of couples have a story to tell. Although a few may wait a day or so before heading out for their honeymoon, most planning an excursion will take off the same night or the next morning. Typically, they will get a ride to the airport from a close friend of family and leave for their destination of choice. When planes are delayed, or bad weathers cancels plans, honeymoon travels are stymied and the couple sits and waits.
Due to an increase in problems with honeymoon travels during certain times of the year many couple opt for destination weddings so that once the ceremony has ended they are already at their honeymoon location. Traveling a day or so before the wedding, traditionally held on a weekend, gives them a better chance of being where they want to be on time and not held up waiting in a crowded airport or train station.
There have been experiences during honeymoon travels where couples had to spend several days waiting for a rescheduled flight due to bad weather and their ride to the airport may be repeated two or three times before they can actually get on a flight. In addition to the time delay of their honeymoon travels, they may also miss out on a few days at their destination and usually cannot receive a discount on the missed days at the location.
Proper Scheduling Can Alleviate Stress
When a couple plans their wedding, honeymoon travels should be an important aspect of their impending trip. Common sense should prevail and if they are getting married at a time of year during which travel is habitually a problem, they should schedule their honeymoon travels for a less-busy time.
It is no secret that holidays in December are some of the busiest travel days of the year and a wedding and honeymoon is planned for that time, waiting a day or two to begin their honeymoon travels can make a huge difference in getting where they want to go. Weather, over scheduling and airport crowds will not grant the couple a hassle-free pass just because they are on their honeymoon.
Making sure all necessary paperwork and identification is in order and readily accessible can help make honeymoon travels less stressful as well. Accidentally packing the passport or flight tickets in a bag that has already been checked through can certainly delay the trip for quite some time, especially if the bag is on the plane.
