Or, even worse, you could find yourself missing out on the trip of a lifetime by just seconds. Fortunately, András Radó from Wizz Air has shared some top tips for holidaymakers to make sure this never happens. First of all, he urged passengers to check in online up to several days ahead of their departure.
This can save you from hours of delays queuing for the check-in desk, especially during peak times. Not only that, but if you've got an early flight to catch it could mean an extra hour or so in bed which is always a relief. Once you've check in, you should make sure to download your boarding pass onto your phone, again ahead of time.
That way you don't have any danger of losing it and delaying yourself at the gate.
