Over the holidays, 43.6 million passengers were expected to travel on United States carriers, up about 3 percent from last year, according to the Air Transport Association of America, the industry trade group.
Still, holiday travel doesn’t have to be totally miserable. While the usual groundwork — showing up early with boarding passes in hand and packing as lightly as possible — still applies, an array of travel applications for smartphones can help you tackle just about any problem that might arise at or on your way to the airport.
