Australian airlines anticipate an exceptionally busy Easter travel period, with Qantas and Jetstar alone expecting to handle nearly two million passengers across their networks between Easter and Anzac Day. This surge in travel represents a significant increase, leading both airlines to implement measures such as rostering extra staff and having standby aircraft available. Travellers are being advised to arrive at airports significantly earlier than usual and to utilise online check-in and adhere to baggage restrictions to mitigate potential delays. Air New Zealand also projects a substantial rise in Australian passengers, particularly on trans-Tasman routes, urging travellers to plan ahead for a smoother experience. Overall, the reports highlight a widespread expectation of record-breaking travel volumes during the upcoming Easter holidays.
