Call You and Yours: Is the travel chaos affecting your holiday plans this Easter?

Official figures show holiday bookings are up, for the UK and overseas, with travel agencies and tour operators seeing a rise of 30 percent. Hotels and campsites are also reporting that bookings are up. But with long delays at airports and ferry ports, will people be put off?

Heathrow Airport has recorded its busiest month since the start of the pandemic. The airport was used by 4.2 million passengers in March - almost eight times the total during the same month last year. But while the figures suggest that the travel industry is recovering after a terrible two years -- it comes as passengers have faced disruption and delays because of staff absences.

Meanwhile, P&O Ferries has resumed its sailings between Larne and Cairnryan, with the ship being staffed by agency workers but say services from Dover to Calais will remain suspended until at least Good Friday. On the roads, The RAC has warned that this weekend's Easter getaway is likely to be the busiest on the UK's roads for at least eight years.
