The holidays are one of the busiest times of the year for air travel. While long lines, road-weary passengers and hard-to-find parking are inevitable, here are few things you can do to make your trip less stressful despite the endless crowds.

Take the extra time to search for cheap fares and online discounts. Look for Web sites like www.kayak.com that compare pricing, and sign up for low fare and deal alerts.

Flights notoriously book fast, so do your homework sooner than later. Making reservations as soon as possible will help you avoid inflated prices and full flights.

Yet all attempts to suppress buying more are swept aside in the spirit of “giving” and to opt out is to face scorn or worse, labeled “cheap.”
