10 Essential Travel Hacks for Stress-Free Flying

Airports can feel overwhelming, but with the right tips, you can make the whole experience smoother, faster and more enjoyable. Here are 10 essential hacks to help you fly stress-free – and yes, ParkVia can help with a few of them!

1. Pre-book your airport parking

Avoid last-minute stress by reserving your parking in advance. With ParkVia, you can compare options, save up to 60% and secure your space before you even pack.

2. Use packing cubes

Organise clothes and essentials neatly. Rolling clothes instead of folding also saves space and reduces wrinkles.

3. Keep digital and paper copies of documents

Boarding passes, hotel confirmations and ID scans should be stored on your phone and as hard copies.

4. Bring a portable charger

Nothing’s worse than a flat battery when you need your digital boarding pass. A power bank is a lifesaver.

5. Save time with Fast Track

Skip long queues at busy airports by pre-booking security Fast Track through ParkVia. It’s ideal for families and business travellers.

6. Stay close with an airport hotel

For early flights or late arrivals, book a nearby airport hotel. Some even include parking packages, so you can combine both.

7. Dress smartly for security

Wear slip-on shoes, avoid heavy jewellery, and keep electronics easy to remove from your bag.

8. Download entertainment in advance

Load up your phone or tablet with movies, podcasts and e-books before you leave home. Wi-Fi can be patchy or expensive in the air.

9. Book a lounge pass

Escape the crowds with a pre-booked lounge. With ParkVia, you can access quiet seating, snacks, drinks and Wi-Fi before your flight.

10. Pack a mini comfort kit

Earplugs, an eye mask and a refillable water bottle can make your journey far more comfortable.
