Why not drive to your holiday destination?

It’s a known fact, driving generally takes longer than flying. However, delays happen and when you factor in the transfers and waiting time there’s a high chance that you travelled for longer than you thought. By driving to your destination you will have more time to reconnect with your family as once you arrive at the resort you will be spoilt for choice with the range of activities and clubs you will all want to do. During this valuable car time you can talk with each other, play games or even share your taste in music as you all sing along to your favourite songs. Nervous about taking your children on a plane? With driving there is no need to worry that they might disturb others and, of course, there is no chance of cabin pressure hurting their ears.

When you are travelling via car you will have greater control over the different aspects of your journey. Airlines often offer early departures or late arrivals; when driving you can choose the time that is best for you and plan your journey around that. Everything is in your own time so there is no need to be stressed about timings, being late or forgetting anything. Airports can be stressful environments so avoiding these can take a lot of hassle out of your holiday.

With driving there is no concern about being surrounded by strangers in a confined space; you are in a car with your household. Driving can be seen as carrying a lower risk than flying however, you still need to plan ahead to make the journey safe while stopping for food or bathroom breaks. Make sure to pack a toolkit with hand sanitiser, wipes, face masks and your own snacks. A road-trip with your family would also mean that there’s no requirement for you to wear a mask while in the car. This would definitely make the journey more comfortable for everyone and easier if travelling with kids.
