Travel smarter: Your travel checklist covered

Afternoons with Helen Farmer

Wednesday, 12 August 2026 - 1 hour 38 minutes

A Porter Airlines flight, which was preparing to depart from Victoria to Toronto had to return to the terminal as a "young child was standing in their seat and would not secure their seat belt". The delay meant the flight could not depart before the runway closed after midnight so passengers had to be rebooked on a flight the following day. Discussing travel etiquette, cruises and itineraries with travel journalist Sarah Hedley-Hymers.

We have more camp info for you and your kids that involves actual wood, actual tools and something they've made themselves to bring home.

And we tell you why you should smile at your dog more often.
