Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm going to give you some information regarding the airport, the EES, how it's been, the queues, and also some important information that a lot of you have missed regarding the sunflower lanyards as well, which technically are no longer accepted.

If a few flights arrive at the same time, it gets overwhelmed and it does get slow and I think the system gets overwhelmed.

Plan for it, expect it. And if it doesn't happen, fantastic. If it does happen, you've for it, you expected it, you were prepared for it, and it is what it is.

I still say get here 3 hours before. I'd rather have 3 hours before, have a coffee, relax, know you've got plenty of time to get through any queues.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Fill in the online form 48 hours before your flight to get the invisible disability badge if you have a hidden disability.
Plan to arrive at the airport 3 hours before your flight to avoid stress and queues.
Wear the sunflower lanyard alongside the PDF form for hidden disability support.
Book excursions, restaurants, and day trips well in advance due to high demand.
Use the number 40 Airport Express bus to save money on transport to resorts.
