Summer Break 2026: Let the Holiday Begin! 10 Useful Tips to Make Travel an Experience From the Start

Summer is finally here and the holiday season is starting. Many families, couples and groups of friends are getting ready for some well-deserved rest. At this time of year airports fill up with travellers, and popular destinations get booked out months in advance. A successful holiday, however, does not begin at the beach or in the hotel, but on the day of departure.

The Park&Fly team has collected the tips that make summer travel even more comfortable, safer and more stress-free.

🌍 1. Book in good time!

The summer break is the busiest period of the year on the travel market. Flight and accommodation prices rise quickly, so it is worth booking your chosen trip as early as possible.

Booking early is not only easier on your wallet, but also gives you a wider choice, whether it comes to accommodation, flights or even airport parking.

🚗 2. Plan how you get to the airport!

Many people tend to leave organising the journey to the airport until the last minute, even though it is one of the most important parts of the trip.

Your own car is a comfortable and flexible option, especially for families or those travelling with several pieces of luggage. There is no need to adjust to a timetable, and at departure you do not have to worry about whether the taxi will arrive on time.

If you book your parking space in advance on the Park&Fly website, you can be sure that everything will go smoothly on arrival.

✨ More than parking comfort extras at Park&Fly

Preparing for a holiday is often tiring, so it is worth making use of services that make travel even more convenient. When you book a parking space on the Park&Fly website, you can choose from several useful extra services:

🎒 Luggage wrapping

Wrapping your luggage offers extra protection against dirt, scratches and damage. It also helps prevent the suitcase from accidentally opening during airport baggage handling.

🚗 Car cleaning and valeting

While you relax on the beach or explore a new city, your car can get a refresh too. Request car cleaning or valeting and come home to a clean, fresh car. There is no better feeling after a long trip than getting into a sparkling clean car. This way, during the holiday not only you but your car gets recharged as well.

🛂 3. Arrive at the airport in good time!

During the summer peak season passenger traffic increases significantly. Although airports prepare for the higher load with continuous improvements, it is worth arriving at least 2-3 hours before your flight departs.

That leaves time for check-in, security screening and a relaxed coffee before departure.

📱 4. Make the most of digital options!

Today almost every airline offers online check-in and a mobile boarding pass. Before travelling it is worth:

• downloading the airline app,
• checking in online,
• saving your passport, insurance and bookings digitally.

This saves time and prevents a lot of inconvenience.

🧳 5. Pack smart!

Before departure always check the airline baggage rules. A few useful tips:

• weigh your suitcase at home,
• always put valuables in your hand luggage,
• make a quick checklist for the evening before departure.

Well-organised packing saves you a lot of trouble.

🌞 6. Prepare for the summer heat!

According to weather forecasts, this summer could again be extremely hot in many parts of Europe. Do not leave out of your suitcase:

• 🧴 sunscreen,
• 🕶️ sunglasses,
• 🧢 a hat or cap,
• 💧 a water bottle.

Proper hydration is especially important during the flight and while sightseeing.

🌊 7. Discover new places!

Although Greece, Italy, Spain and Croatia remain among the favourites of Hungarian travellers, more and more people are looking for calmer, less crowded destinations. It may be worth discovering:

• the coast of Albania,
• the charming bays of Montenegro,
• the lesser-known parts of the Greek islands,
• or even a short city break in one of Europe hidden gems.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 8. Travelling with children? Prepare in advance!

Longer waits pass more easily if you have a few tried and tested activities with you. Useful items can be:

• 🎨 a colouring book,
• 📚 a storybook,
• 🎮 a tablet with downloaded content,
• 🍎 a healthy snack.

With a calm child, travelling is much more pleasant.

📸 9. Leave time for spontaneous experiences!

Many people make a minute-by-minute schedule and then feel completely worn out by the end of the holiday. The most beautiful memories are often born unexpectedly:

• in a charming little street,
• in a local restaurant,
• or during a special sunset.

Collect not only the sights, but the experiences too.

✈️ 10. Let the holiday begin on the day of departure!

The holiday does not begin when you arrive at your accommodation, but when you set off from home with peace of mind, knowing that everything is organised.

Park&Fly aims to provide a comfortable and stress-free experience from the very first moment of the journey. Secure parking, fast airport transfer, luggage wrapping and car cleaning all serve one purpose: so that you can focus solely on relaxing.
