A FREQUENT traveller has explained why he would never book flights on a Sunday, and why you shouldn’t either.
Maxwell Ryan, who runs interior website Apartment Therapy , often flies for his job and has already travelled 52,000 miles this year.
However, he said that he would never choose to fly home on a Sunday, even though it means losing a day of your holiday over the weekend.
He told Bloomberg : “If I go on vacation, I will always try to come back on a Saturday, because I don’t want to land and have to go to work the next day.
“You’re going to be tired.”;;
He said he would own go to the TWA Hotel in New York - a 1960s-style hotel at JFK Airport - for drinks and dinner after his flight, before heading home and having a whole day of rest afterwards.
Other research has found that flying on a Sunday is the worst day of the week.
The study, conducted by HappyOrNot , analysed more than 4.5 million customer feedback points which are found across airports in 30 countries.
The data found that the worst day of the week was Sunday , as people were the least happy with 81 per cent positive customer feedback, while the happiest was Wednesday with 84.5 per cent.
Your flight is more likely to be cancelled on a Sunday too .
A study was conducted by the Telegraph on UK flights between May 7 and June 6, using data from FlightRadar4 and OAG.
It found that 256 flights were cancelled on a Sunday - two per cent of flights - compared to just 157 flights on a Saturday - 1.3 per cent.
Aviation expert John Strickland explained that, outside of the peak season, there is “more space capacity”;; for Saturday flights, “especially for short haul airlines”;;.
He added: “Conversely Sunday is one the busiest days of the week for flights: end of long weekends, longer holidays and getting in position for the working week.”;;
Nervous traveller? Choose an early flight too .
A later flight means the ground has had more time to heat up, which can cause “bumpier air”;; and lead to turbulence onboard .
Maxwell also shared some of his other travel tips.
The 59-year-old dad said you should always leave your keys at home when packing for your holiday.
He explained: “The one thing I actually never bring is my key fob with all my keys .
“I’ve always had a big keychain. And I have my house keys, my storage key, my gym fob, my work fob; my life is on that thing.
“I’m afraid of losing all of them, and it terrifies me to carry them to another country.”;;
