Air travel demand and capacity remain uneven in 2026, with regional differences, operational disruption and fuller flights affecting traveller experience. TripAdept recommendation: avoid risky self-transfers, compare flexible tickets for important trips, and allow more buffer time when travelling with children, elders or checked baggage.

Use this as a planning prompt, not as final legal or visa advice. Check the official source again close to your travel date, especially before paying for flights, visas, hotels or non-refundable activities.
TripAdept planning action
- Check passport validity and blank-page requirements.
- Keep booking details, hotel address and return or onward-ticket information easy to access.
- Allow more time for airport, border and document checks when the route involves multiple countries.
