20 Hilarious Travel Complaints That Will Leave You Speechless
We all love a good holiday, but sometimes things don't go quite as planned. While most travellers take minor inconveniences in stride, others have some truly outrageous complaints. Brace yourself for a laugh as we present the most ridiculous travel complaints ever reported!
1. Lost in Translation
"There are too many Spanish people in Spain. The receptionist speaks Spanish, the food is Spanish. No one told us there would be so many foreigners."
2. Beach Woes
"The beach was too sandy. We had to clean everything when we returned to our room."
3. Culinary Confusion
"On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food."
4. Aquatic Surprises
"No one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled."
5. Topless Troubles
"Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women."
6. Geographical Misunderstandings
"It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It took the Americans only three hours to get home. This seems unfair."
7. Siesta Frustrations
"It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time - this should be banned."
8. Sand Spectrum Disappointment
"We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white."
9. Biscuit Blunder
"I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."
10. Unexpected Wildlife
"I was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes."
11. Toilet Paper Troubles
"There was no Andrex toilet paper in our hotel room."
12. Standing Room Only
When told there weren't enough seats on a flight, one customer replied, "My son can stand, he doesn't need a seat."
13. Transfer Confusion
A customer called to ask when they would be collected from their home in Liverpool and taken to Manchester Airport for their package holiday.
14. Clairvoyant Expectations
At a welcome meeting on their first day, a customer asked, "Will my flight be delayed next Saturday?"
15. Buffet Predictions
"I'm going to Marmaris next week, can you tell me what food they'll have on in the buffet for dinner?"
16. Adult Children
Customer: "I'd like to book a holiday for two adults and two children."
Agent: "OK, certainly, how old are the children?"
Customer: "32 and 37"
17. Fly-Drive Confusion
"I'm just wondering how will I get my car on the aeroplane?"
18. Shark Fears
Agent: "Would you like a sea view?"
Customer: "No thank you, the sharks might get in and I'm scared of fish."
19. Unexpected Pregnancy
"My fiancé and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find myself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked."
20. Too Much Nature
"I spent a whole week on safari, and didn't see any good animals. There was only a load of antelopes."
