I’m sure you’ve heard - The FAA just announced flight reductions of up to 10% at 40 major U.S. airports, citing staff shortages and safety concerns. In plain terms, that means fewer available flights, more rerouting, and a higher chance of schedule changes - especially during busy travel weeks.

If you’re flying in late November or December, or planning big family travel next year, here’s what we recommend:

✈️ Build in buffer time. Avoid tight layovers and early morning connections when possible.

🧳 Book through a trusted travel advisor. We monitor changes, advocate for you, and secure alternate routes fast if something shifts.

📅 Stay flexible. Choose refundable or changeable fares, and keep travel insurance active.

At Bright Life Travel Co., we’re watching these updates daily and adjusting plans where needed to keep our travelers moving smoothly.

More than half of U.S. workers don’t use all their vacation days each year - and we’re on a mission to change that. With a little planning, you can turn long weekends into full vacations and make every day off count.

Here’s how to maximize your PTO in 2026:

📆 January 16–19
Take off Friday, January 16 and enjoy a 4-day weekend with Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Monday, Jan 19). Perfect for a quick winter getaway.

🌸 May 22–25
Pair a Friday off with Memorial Day (Monday, May 25) for four days of sunshine and relaxation.

☀️ July 2–5
Independence Day falls on Saturday, July 4 (this means Friday, July 3 is the observed holiday). Take July 2 off to make it a 4-day summer weekend.

🍂 September 4–7
Use Labor Day weekend (Monday, Sept 7) for a 4-day trip — Alaska, Hawaii, or a national park are perfect picks.

🎄 December 24–31
Christmas Day is Friday, Dec 25. Take December 24 and Dec 28–31 off for a full 9-day stretch to end the year right.

Your vacation days are too valuable to leave behind. Let’s turn them into something unforgettable. ✈️
