Common Pre-Holiday Problems And How To Solve Them

As much as you’re likely anticipating an overseas holiday or staycation, there are all manner of occurrences which will likely spoil the occasion. Of course nothing ever goes smoothly when you need it to - but luckily there are some precautions you can put in place to prepare for the very worst. From the hassle of packing essentials, to familiarising yourself with airport shuttle services and potential delays, here are just a few pre-holiday problems and how Lewis Taxis Midlands proposes you can solve them.

Cancels And Delays

As unpredictable as they are, cancellations and flight delays are a huge spanner in the works, and can drastically alter plans you’ve set out prior to boarding. You may have arranged transport at your destination which is already paid for, or perhaps you’re attending an event which starts on a particular day - these proposals are quickly out of the window if your flight is adjusted.

One way to minimise this risk is by keeping yourself in the loop about possible delays, often communicated online or via social media - and avoid travelling when these cancellations seem likely (for example, periods of bad weather or disruption.

Packing

Packing ideally shouldn’t be an issue, but when you have weight restrictions to consider, particular items which can’t travel with your main luggage and undoubtedly plenty of outfit choices - conditions may be tricky.

One way to avoid such hassle is by using up any excess storage left over by other passengers, and placing your belongings in their case. In addition, you may also want to familiarise yourself with restricted items and limitations to avoid nasty surprises once you reach the airport.

Transport Reliability

Infamously unreliable public transport is certainly not a viable choice when you need to make a flight on time, especially if your flight is at an awkward time and trains or buses are in short supply. Holiday transfers are one of our most popular services, and our returning customers are testament to our success.

Taxi firms are a hassle-free way of clarifying the situation, and with Lewis Taxis Midlands supplying cabs capable of carrying up to 7 passengers when required, we can take your whole group from location to location. Famously punctual and friendly at all times, we’re locally trusted for a reason - so start your holiday the right way!

Illness Or Injury

Illness and injury are tough to avoid, and often come on unexpectedly, but there are of course actions to take which can put your mind at ease. First make sure you’re able to fly in your condition (some airlines will have limitations in place, especially post-Covid), and furthermore see if your airline and hotel can make reasonable adjustments.

If experiencing mobility issues or any other healthcare complications, you are legally entitled to support, when travelling by air - certainly worth enquiring about if you’re unsure and require assurances in advance.
