Buckle up, because if you're hopping on a plane this Easter, airports are going to be chock-a-block.

Today is the busiest for Air New Zealand, with almost 55,000 people expected to fly; over the weekend that climbs to 227,000 customers.

Once we get over Easter, it's practically the school holidays and people are taking off again in their droves.
