Holidaymakers flying out of the country on the busiest travel day in four years should check their flights before heading to the airport.
Around 3,000 flights are expected to take off from UK airports today, the highest number of daily departures since December 20, 2019, with a further 11,350 flights departing over the long weekend, equating to more than two million seats.
The huge days of air travel coincide with a three day strike of security workers at Heathrow Airport over a long running pay dispute.
