MT Week - 8 things to do before you go on holiday this year

Easter kicked off the holiday season this year, marking perhaps the first time since the pandemic that there’s been a rush at the airport.

But it’s not all because of the surge in demand.

Throughout the pandemic, queues at airports have been longer than usual because of the additional paperwork that airline staff must now wade through before they check you in.

And both airlines and airports have blamed recent cancellations and queues on Covid-related issues, including staff sickness. I actually wrote about this for The Times last week.

Despite all this, going on holiday now is so much easier and more affordable, and no longer quite such a roulette.

Still, it’s worth being prepared.

So this week it’s all about the things you should do before you go on holiday this year.
