Traveling can be a real pain in the derriere sometimes, right? Yes, that is a true statement. And one of the biggest pains of travel are airports: we don’t even need to highlight this. During and after the Covid 19 meltdowns, airlines and airports did everything the could to do a bit of navel-gazing to see how things could get better. Enhanced protective measures included the following: enhanced cleaning; universal use of face masks; hand hygiene; reduced flight capacity; physical distancing on embarkation and disembarkation; designated crew only areas; and quarantine areas for unwell passengers and crew. Those actions actually made huge differences in how air travel went forward after Covid.
But, here we are in 2023 and there are still big issues in many airports. Long queues, expensive flights. It makes you want to think twice about traveling. But maybe the idea about thinking twice is something that needs a bit more thought. And here’s a top idea if you travel in and out of the UK: skip Gatwick and Heathrow and escape the UK south via the tiny airport 2 hours outside London where you can get to Spain, Portugal and Greece without waiting in queues for hours: Bournemouth Airport. Easy to get to, plenty of parking, smaller crowds, this hidden gem of an airport had less than 700,000 people passing through its terminals in 2022 so is much quieter than London airports.
