Everybody loves to travel, but nobody likes the stress that often comes with it. From worrying about sudden weather changes and forgetting essential items to figuring out what to actually do when we get there, travel planning can be a source of significant anxiety.

Askrango is on a mission to make travel planning less stressful. We understand that the joy of travel should begin from the moment you start planning your trip. That's why we've developed tools and resources designed to streamline the planning process, ensuring you can focus on the excitement of your upcoming adventures without the usual worries.

Our initial research into the stress of travel planning was further enriched by identifying the most common stressors travelers face. This deep dive into the travel experience revealed the following top five stressful moments:

• Getting through airport security: 46% of travelers cited this as a top stressor, highlighting the anxiety associated with the unpredictability and time consumed in security lines.
• Packing: Close behind at 41%, the challenge of packing effectively without forgetting essentials or overpacking is a significant source of stress.
• The seating arrangement situation: Also at 41%, concerns about comfort, personal space, and who they will be seated near affect travelers’ stress levels.
• The actual plane ride: 32% of respondents find the plane ride itself to be a source of stress, including fears of flying and discomfort during the journey.
• The snacks onboard: 13% mentioned onboard snacks, reflecting concerns over food quality, availability, and dietary restrictions.

These insights were instrumental in shaping Askrango's features and services. By addressing these key stress points, we aim to significantly reduce the anxiety associated with travel, making the entire journey—from planning to arrival—a more enjoyable experience.
