The holiday season is a joyous time of year for a number of reasons, but for many, the best part is reuniting with family members from far away. Family members from outside the US arrive in town for celebration and time spent with loved ones, putting pressure on family members to provide their visitors with the ultimate holiday experience. At InMotion, we know how important it is to welcome travelers with open arms, which is why we’re here to share tips for your family for traveling abroad, getting connected, and making the most of your time abroad for the holidays.

Arriving at the Airport

Tips for Getting Connected with International Relatives

Arriving at any airport during the holidays can be stressful. With so much hustle and bustle, live performances, and more, it can be overwhelming to navigate the airport during arrival. The challenge becomes greater for foreign relatives who may not have cellular service to help them get connected with you upon landing. 

How can you prevent confusion and stress after arrival? Make an arrival plan with your relatives. Before they depart, make a clear plan for their arrival in the United States. Advise them to grab their luggage and then locate a meeting place at the airport. Most times, it’s easiest to meet them as close to their gate as possible or at a memorable location in the airport, like a fountain, store, or piece of artwork.

A great place to meet up once you land is InMotion: the leading airport electronics store in the United States.
