Are Airports filled 1 week before Christmas?
This is the first year I travel by plane to spend Christmas in my country. Will the airports be full 1 week before Christmas? How long do you think we have to be at the airport before our flight?
2 hours before, they overbook flights so only the first in line get on sometimes.
YES they will get busier during the week. The weekend before is busy with those that have some extra time off at year end.
For domestic flight 2 hours. International at lest three. As it can get busy with the full luggage bags and extra road traffic aim for earlier if you can.
WINTER has storms flights get disrupted. First in line is looked after first.
Of course airports are always extra busy at holiday times.
The standard recommended MINIMUM times for arriving at the airport are two hours for domestic flights, three hours for international.
But obviously at busy times like Christmas it makes sense to get there even earlier. The worst that can happen is that you'll maybe have to spend an hour sitting drinking coffee watching late-comers race around in a panic.
- I'm travelling with a 7mo baby on a overseas flight (BA). Anyone who has done it before could you give advise over what went right and wrong? What are the packing items I need to bring with me. Taking in consideration that the airline allows a bag for the baby but with size and weigh restrictions, and bearing in mind that it is a over 12 hrs flight
- Airplane mechanics: why would a plane have to burn off fuel before landing? My local news just talked about a flight having to return to the airport after "mechanical issues with the nose gear", but then it said that the plane had to circle the airport for about an hour "ro burn off enough fuel for landing". I'm curiois why would it have to burn off fuel instead of just landing? Especially if it turned around for mechanical issues.
- How much money would we need (my girlfriend and I) as a foreign tourist to stay a week in Baguio city, near burnham park? Please exclude flight costs and bus fare into Baguio from the Manilla airport. Just lodging, food, and in city transportation.
