As we head into the last few weeks of summer, there’s always one thought on everyone’s mind: planning for Labor Day weekend. Whether you’re going camping, road tripping to your nearest state park or visiting family, we have five tips to help you prepare for your last summer hurrah.
1. For those traveling on a budget, research stops with free entertainment on the way to your destination. Find which of our locations have RV amenities, Wi-Fi and restaurants with our myPilot mobile app. You can download the app and learn more here: PilotFlyingJ.com/myPilot.
2. Check tire pressure, car fluids and fuel up before you hit the road. Find one of our locations near you by visiting PilotFlyingJ.com/store-locator.
3. Bring a toolkit or first-aid kit. Easily stored under seats, essentials like flashlights, energy bars, band aids and nausea medicine ensure that you and your passengers are taken care of in an emergency.
4. Combat thirst and hunger during your travels by grabbing a free bottle of Aquafina water with any Smartfood Popcorn purchase until 8/31. Grab your coupon here: https://goo.gl/vqdL46.
5. Leave early (before rush hour) and return the same way. Try alternate routes to cut traffic madness and hit the highways before 4 p.m. or after 10 p.m.
