Let’s be honest, when travelling with kids everything will take much longer than expected. From checking in to getting through security, it’s important you get to the airport early and leave plenty of time for things to go wrong. Leaving extra time also applies to other parts of your holiday. For instance, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to fit three museums, a walking tour, shopping, and multiple restaurants into a single day when you have the kids in tow.
While the idea of going on holiday is to build shared memories, it is also important to remember that as a parent you need time to rest and enjoy some adult company as well.
