1 ~~~ 19 airport hacks to help you survive the holiday travel chaos
From packing to airport security, an air travel expert shares their best travel tips for making your next flight as easy as possible
You can’t read or watch the news at the moment without hearing horror stories about the travel industry.
In so many cases, the criticism from frustrated travellers looking forward to their first business trip, holiday or family reunion in some time is completely justified.
Having worked in aviation for 17 years, from starting at the check-in counter to being senior cabin crew and now managing our people department, I have definitely witnessed my fair share of delays, long queues and passenger meltdowns.
So far this year I have travelled about once a month, some for work, and others for holidays, and I have of course noticed the difference not just in the logistics of travelling, but also in the travellers themselves.
Pre-pandemic, most of us were so used to just jumping on a plane like a bus and thinking nothing of it, but now we’re either having to remember the processes, adjust to the new requirements, or both.
All of our colleagues in the terminals and on board the aircraft are working tirelessly with great kindness and professionalism to iron out as many negative experiences as possible. To further help relieve those stressful situations and save time, here are some handy common sense hacks that every traveller should know about.
