When Package Holidays Go Horribly Wrong
Package Holidays have always been the easy way to travel, with flights and accommodation all taken care of. Ever popular, all you need to do is just fly and flop! So, when these holidays go right, you'll be living la vida loca. But when they go Horribly Wrong, you'll wish you'd never booked.
Highlights of the show include pain in Spain as a family are disgusted when they discover their Benidorm package holiday hotel room looks less like the little piece of heaven they'd envisaged and more like something from a horror film, complete with flickering light, crumbling fixtures and filth everywhere. There's the shock of all shocks when on a package tour to Thailand a man is horrified to discover a huge Godzilla-like creature emerging from the toilet at the most inopportune moment: it's a venomous monitor lizard. And a sunseeker's trip to Mallorca ends in disaster when she gets sunburnt so badly she's in excruciating pain for the rest of the holiday - not to mention being faced with a doctor's bill for thousands.
Also, there's a fracas in Paphos as a relaxing trip to Cyprus is anything but, when a holidaymaker has to endure days of ear-shattering drilling. A week in Ibiza is a washout as flash floods hit leaving a room looking more like the hotel swimming pool. And in Turkey, a holidaymaker gets a basting when a parasailing adventure comes crashing down to earth leaving her worried she'll ever return home alive.
Contributors include journalist & broadcaster Claudia-Liza Vanderpuije, presenters Sara Damergi & Ricky Boleto and veteran travel journalist Simon Calder.
