Almost half of holidaymakers change plans to avoid summer travel stress

Sunday, 01 Jun, 2022 0

A consumer study says ongoing hassles have caused nearly half of British holidaymakers to change their travel plans for this summer.

New data from Holiday Extras revealed 45% of British travelles have changed their holiday plans this year over reduced availability, higher prices, queues and ongoing travel restrictions.

Released after the mass cancellations of flights this week, one in ten (10%) holidaymakers polled said that queues at airports has led them to tweak their holiday plans.

It found 18% altered their summer trips due to their preferred destination still being closed, having Covid-related restrictions or having run out of affordable flights or rooms.

Another 5% couldn’t find the rooms, flights or hire cars they needed.

Despite this, the appetite for an overseas break is clear, with the majority (93.2%)of holidaymakers saying that they plan to take an international holiday this year.

Seamus McCauley, Head of Communications at Holiday Extras, said: “After more than two years without a holiday people are changing or even cancelling their plans just to avoid the hassle of queues, travel restrictions and their favourite resorts running out of rooms.”

The survey polled 1,000 UK respondents in May 2022.
