From rushing through airport security to overindulging prior to a flight, there’re so many ways to make your time at the airport less than easy. Listed below are a few common airport mistakes that you must avoid to simply get in & out with the least amount of hassle.
Not allowing adequate time to get the airport:
One of the most widespread travel mistakes – not leaving yourself adequate time to get to the airport & check in – will leave you not just stressed & frazzled, but may even result in you missing your flight. This is particular detrimental if you have booked a budget airline that doesn’t offer refunds for tickets. Add to that slow-moving security lines or other airport hindrances, and it is almost guaranteed that if you are late to the airport, it is going to end in tears.
Let yourself adequate time to get to the airport (taking into account traffic & other potential delays); it’s advocated 3 hours prior to an international flight and 2 hours prior to a domestic flight to avoid needless stress.
Forgetting to check the airline carry-on restrictions:
Sometimes it sense like it’s unfeasible to get through airport security without somebody having a pair of nail scissors or bottle of water in their carry-on, and it is even worse when you are the culprit! Avoid this embarrassing situation by reading up on what your airline allows in carry-on, then go through your bag with a (metaphorical) fine-tooth comb to make sure nothing on the restricted list sneaks into your bag.
Forgetting to arrange your airport transportation beforehand:
Airports are demanding enough as they’re without adding additional anxiety by not organizing your Midway airport transportation beforehand. Forget about depending on an on-demand service; pre-book airport transportation so you can have peace of mind that you know exactly how you are getting to the airport and when. Phew, one less thing to worry about.
Drinking too much prior to a flight:
While it may be luring to get stuck into some alcoholic drinks in preparation for a flight, it is going to make it worse in the long-run when you finally board your flight; woozy, tipsy and light-headed is not how you wish to spend the duration of your flight, particularly if there’s turbulence.
