Air travel can be an incredibly stressful experience for all of us. From unexpected flight delays, to long queues in security, to other passengers blocking your way as you race to your gate, airport travel can be a nightmare.
But, there is now a smart tool that can help you prepare for the airport chaos. Flight Finder's Airport Stress Calculator takes into account the frequency of flight delays at your airport, luggage restrictions and the amount of travelers at the airport during the time of your journey.
The calculator will provide you with a percentage risk of a stressful airport experience. This is based on the analysis of three of the most common sources of stress for air travelers: the airport's busyness, the stringency of baggage restrictions, and the likelihood of delays. All you have to do is fill in your time of departure, airline, and airport.
For example, London Gatwick has seen the second-highest number of delays across Europe, with over two in five outgoing flights arriving late at the beginning of August. Shahab Siddiqui, CEO of FlightsFinder, explains that the massive increase in global flights post-pandemic means that airports are struggling to hire enough staff to keep up with the demand, resulting in a larger number of delays.
And that's not even taking into account the chaos at Luton Airport after a car park fire.
So, why not give the Flight Stress Calculator a try the next time you're jetting off for your vacation? While it can't completely banish the stress of the journey, at least you'll know what to expect before you even leave your home.
