Top travel stresses include carrying heavy bags through airport, holidaymakers say

The top stresses when it comes to preparing to go on holiday include getting to the airport on time (57%) – and having to carry heavy luggage (26%), according to a study.

A poll of 2,000 holidaymakers found that it takes them an average of 2.8 hours to pack for a trip, with the average traveller starting five days before their trip.

But some will start as far as two weeks in advance – and end up packing a combined total of 27.6kg in their checked baggage and hand luggage.
