Here’s a different approach for a How-To blog from Skyscanner
Ways to Ruin Your Holiday!
Heed these totally handy tips on how to ruin your summer holiday; in other words do the complete opposite.
1) Forget your passport
“Darling, have you got the passports?” “I thought you had them?” Realising that you are passport-less, preferably while you are stuck in traffic on the M25, gets the holiday off to a flier. YOU are to blame. YOU have ruined everything. While you don’t actually need a passport for domestic flights with British Airways, US immigration officials won’t accept your Tesco Clubcard as valid ID.
2) Cut it fine
“Don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of time!” You haven’t. You’re late. You’re other half was right: it is better to kill five hours at the airport than use your holidays to learn the hard lessons of time management. For added excitement, ensure that your journey to the airport includes border crossings, out-of-date timetables, unlicensed taxi drivers… Even better, celebrate getting to the airport just in time by getting drunk, and miss your flight.
The blog is fun read. The rest of the tips include:
3) Get very drunk...
4) Believe the hype
5) Assume that the weather is always lovely
6) Disrespect local customs
7) Make jokes with airport staff
8) Smuggle drugs
9) Don’t buy travel insurance
