Travelling at the wrong time can add a whole lot of angst your day.
Pre-Christmas, school holiday and Monday mornings are all busier than usual periods at airports.
The team from the Truely Travel eSIM company says: "Understanding the details of holiday travel can save you time, money, and a lot of stress."
Their travel expert Alexandra Bowman says there are some key times when you should think carefully before booking your holiday trips.
Avoid Peak Travel Days: Timing is key for holiday travel. Book outside periods like Anzac Day and Christmas. Booking on these peak days can lead to higher costs and crowded airports. Instead, consider traveling on off-peak days like Christmas Day or the day after New Year to save money and stress.
Avoid Last-Minute Bookings: Waiting until the last minute to book is another mistake. Many travellers believe they can find great deals, but often end up paying higher prices. The Expedia 2024 Air Travel Hacks Report shows that booking 25 days in advance can save travellers an average of 33%.
Know Your Destination’s Peak Season: Understanding the peak season for your destination is crucial. Ski resorts during the holidays usually have higher prices and larger crowds, while places like Hawaii may be cheaper if visited a few weeks before Christmas.
Book in advance: Reserving flights and accommodations months ahead can secure better rates, as can choosing off-peak days: Flying midweek usually leads to lower fares and fewer people.

Exploring less popular destinations: Visiting lesser-known places can save money and reduce crowds.
