So it's looking like challenging times flying to New Yorker from many of the UK airports at the moment
0:07
So in this video I'm going to bring you my top tips for being prepared and getting to the airport to help minimise those queues so you can get over to the island and start your holiday
0:17
Now I'm hoping that any cancellations that should have been made have now been made to either flights or package holiday
0:25
So I'm really hoping that there's going to be some security in terms of knowing that you're going to be
0:29
to be getting away this summer. So if you are travelling to the airport my
0:34
first recommendation is do not get there too early because your early arrival is
0:40
going to impact queues at the airport and this is what's been happening at so many
0:43
airports around the UK. Now Ryanair is advising do not turn up any sooner than
0:50
three hours before the flight and many other holiday companies are advising the same
0:54
too. Now another piece of advice is to also when you're going through security
0:59
Make sure that you have separated out all your liquids to into that clear plastic bag
1:04
Because any delays at security are also due to not just the volume of traffic of the people going through airport security
1:12
but also because people are not separating out their liquids from their hand luggage
1:16
So make sure you do that so you are not delayed getting to your gate
1:21
And just keep an eye on your luggage all the way through security and aboard your flight
1:26
Okay, so my other piece of advice is to not take checking luggage at all
1:32
Now, I'm down here in Magaloo, so if you are travelling and you do need to pick up extra clothes
1:37
then they're shops like Teddy, for example, which is near the big Aldi supermarket
1:42
which sells T-shirts really cheaply and flip-flops too for just a euro or so
1:47
And of course, you're spoilt for choice at all the beach shops too
1:52
So if you do check in a suitcase include a few essential items in your carry luggage So maybe a pair of shorts a couple of t a dress swimwear and underwear
2:04
So if your checking bag doesn't make your flight, you won't lose out on valuable time by the pool as soon as you arrive at your hotel
2:12
Also, this will help when you arrive at the other side when you arrive in Palmer because any delays in baggage handling as well because we are understaffed at Parmar
2:21
Airport, meaning that if you are only taking carry-on luggage, you will not have to wait for your bags
2:26
As is booking yourself a transfer service, so you know that when you get through the arrivals lounge
2:31
you can jump into your own private hire and get to your accommodation too
2:36
Now, as I reported in my news update just a few days ago, we have had problems at the taxi ranks
2:41
so once again it's very hit and miss as whether you are going to get there and find long queues or not
2:47
particularly during July and August. Now if you can afford it the airports do have exclusive concierge services but these
2:56
are going to set you back around £200, 200 euros at the very least so again
3:02
great if you can do but this will help fast track through the whole process of
3:06
getting through the airport and getting on and off the plane and it's really sad
3:11
that people might need to actually use these if they want to go on holiday this
3:15
summer but that option is there should you want to make the most of it
3:21
It's already an article on my website on Mioka Under the Sun.com
3:26

3:30
And I'll put a link to that article in the description below this video
