Huge queues and cancelled flights are adding to holidaymakers' stresses this year, with two in three European airports reporting flight delays and huge security queues. Although Newcastle and Teesside International Airports have avoided a lot of the problems, North East families travelling from London or Manchester have certainly felt the strain this year, due to staff shortages and high demands.
Although the two North East airports are currently advising people to arrive at the time their airline requests, with no need to turn up earlier, some airports are advising holidaymakers to arrive with extra time to spare - and there have been reports of some only just making it in time for boarding.
While there's not much you can control about a delayed or cancelled flight, you can certainly improve the queuing situation and give yourself more peace of mind. To help with this, travel agency, eShores have shared their best tips to avoid airport queuing for hours.
