Christmas may be the most wonderful time of the year for many of us, but it also might be one of the worst if you’re at an airport. 

This year is set to be no exception. With flight prices, delays & cancellations all having increased- there’s no better time than to have a strategy in place for taking your flight. 

Today we speak to two people who have just boarded or are about to board their flights home for Christmas & what strategies they used to avoid the mayhem that is taking a flight over the Christmas period.  

We also speak to CEO of the Australian Airports Association, James Goodwin on why some of these issues are occurring and how best to prepare for them. Yes, that might mean getting to the airport a lot earlier than usual for a domestic flight.
