10 worst moments to travel anywhere
Do not go half your trip to the airport avoiding these occupied moments.
We are all guilty of this one: do not achieve our horrible travel booking error until we are at the airport and it's too late to avoid crowds or canceled flights. Or, we have already engaged in social plans that see us in the most expensive days flying. The good news is that the more you know when traveling, the easier it is to avoid strong crowds and tickets too expensive. Read on to save money and patience the next time you travel.

Everyone has the same idea in February in Jet Off and enjoy a holiday Monday.
