Sleeping on holiday can be a nightmare as you never know where you are going to end up. With the potential for planes to be cancelled and hotels rescheduled, many holidaymakers end up sleeping in airport lounges among other places.
She added: “My 16-year-old daughter was due to go to Spain this month for Spring Break with her class from school.
“I was so glad the organiser made it mandatory that we all purchased travel insurance for our students.
“You never expect things to go wrong, but especially now for travelling abroad, travel insurance is a no-brainer.”
Travel expert and owner of family travel site, Kids Are A Trip, Kirsten Maxwell explained her own luggage hack but for travelling with children.
She explained that for going on holiday with children, medicines are the most important things to have at hand.
Ms Maxwell said: “Keep all medicine close at hand, in case of emergencies.”
But she added: “Pack your patience, you’re going to need it.”
The travel expert also had another luggage top tip that might be best for long-haul holidays which need bigger suitcases.
If it’s one giant suitcase shared between more than one person, then “packing cubes” might be the answer.
She suggested travellers have “a different colour for every family member”.
Packing cubes are zipped bags that fit perfectly into suitcases of all sizes.
Ms Maxwell has been featured in Lonely Planet and various other publications.
