Are you traveling by air this week in order to celebrate Thanksgiving where you belong…or at least where you feel obligated to be. USA Today published a list of holiday travel tips…they’re all good general travel tips, but especially helpful when airports are crowded and stress is high.

Here are the most useful ones:

• Pack carefully–light enough that you don’t need to check any bags, but carefully enough so you don’t hog the entire overhead bin.
• If possible, leave your liquids, weapons, and gel insoles at home.
• Check in at home and print your boarding pass to save time.
• Be polite to airline employees, especially when things go wrong. Niceness can go a long way when you experience problems.
