This little-known travel rule can have a big impact on your next holiday . Airports aren't always exactly stress-free places - especially if you have to grapple with young children on the verge of having a meltdown while you are there. From checking your luggage, downing the water you forgot was in your reusable bottle so you can get through security, all the way to finding your gate - which for some reason always seems to be the furthest one away - there's never as much time as you think.

Even if you made sure to get there hours ahead of your flight, there is a lot to factor in before you jet off on your holidays, especially if you are only half awake trying to catch a flight that's leaving first thing in the morning. Early morning flights pretty much always seem like a good idea when you are booking them - you'll get to enjoy more of the day when you arrive at your destination after all - but then reality sets in. If your flight leaves at 7 am then you will need to get there at 4 am if you're travelling internationally, or 5 am if your trip is domestic - so you will likely need a serious caffeine injection as soon as your eyes are open.

However, there is a little-known airport rule that can actually make these early morning flight much easier to handle, for those travelling on EasyJet , and once you have tried out this travel hack, you won't go back. As reported in Tyla , if you are getting an early morning EasyJet flight, you can actually check your luggage in the evening .
