Shark Tank investor Lori Greiner's top tips for stress-free holiday travel

With the holiday season upon us, Shark Tank's Queen of QVC shared a reel on her Instagram account on Dec 23, where she shared 3 important travel tips for people taking a trip his season.


Tip 1 - Cover your identification

The first tip, the founder of For Your Ease Only shares is to never share your identification with strangers. She talks about how people often give away their personal details just by holding their boarding passes wrong.

"You've got to make sure when you're traveling, especially at the airport, don't show your identification to other people. Don't hold your card right up when you're in line, whether it's checking in or whether it's getting on the plane. Make sure that you turned upside down so that people don't get your important, valuable information."

Tip 2 - Do not leave your luggage alone while using the airport washroom

The second tip Greiner shares is to never abandon your luggage while using the airport washroom.

"Also, when you're using airport bathrooms, make sure you're careful where you put your luggage and where you put your purse. Don't leave it outside the bathroom stall and don't leave it on a low hook. Also, make sure you're always locking the doors or you're with somebody. Always have them watching your luggage too. Don't leave it unattended."

Tip 3 - Keep an eye on your wallet

The last tip shared by the Shark Tank investor is to always keep your eye on your wallet during check-in.

"And lastly, the last thing that gets taken a lot is your wallet. Make sure that you're watching when you put your wallet and your keys and your phone to go through the check-in at TSA. When it goes on that belt, make sure that you're watching it at times. Because someone else can grab it right out of the bucket when it's gone through if you're not keeping your eye on it."
"So, watch your stuff, make sure you watch your wallet, keep it in the front pocket. Just do all these safety things because today, all of those things are so important, so valuable, and you must guard them."

She shared as she concluded the reel.
