5 Tips for a Stress-Free Family Holiday

Travelling with children is one of life’s great joys — and, without a little planning, one of its great tests. These are the tips our agents share most often.

1. Pick a destination that works for every age

All-inclusive resorts and theme-park breaks take the daily decisions off your plate so everyone stays happy.

2. Fly at the right time

Where you can, choose flight times that fit around naps and bedtimes rather than the cheapest slot.

3. Book connecting rooms early

Family rooms and connecting doubles sell out first, so confirm them as soon as you book.

4. Pack a hand-luggage essentials bag

Snacks, a change of clothes and entertainment can rescue a delayed departure.

5. Leave room to do nothing

Build in downtime. A holiday packed with activities can be more tiring than home.
