A Comedy of Holiday complaints
By Darren Cronian on Thursday, March 13th, 2008

I receive a few holiday complaints every week and whilst most of them are genuine, I do receive the occasional complaint which is humorous. Today, I received a rant from a consumer who missed his airport transfer because he was in the hotel bar, as he puts it “flirting” with a local girl.

A Comedy of Holiday complaints

He had to pay £40 for a taxi to get the airport and has tried to claim back this money but the travel company have quite rightly refused.

What about these that I found whilst surfin’ the internet..

I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts. I would like to complain about the price of alcohol in the resort. It was too cheap and I woke with a hangover every day.

They are consumers who complain about everything and I’d like travel companies to leave a comment of their funniest and weirdest complaints and for consumers to confess their humorous travel stories that has meant they have missed their airport transfer, or worse still, their flight.

Not only travel companies, but all call centers would provide a lot of funny stories I guess :)

I could spend days reading Trip Advisor reviews on hotels, there are some hilarious ones.

One which sticks in my mind was a traveller complaining about a hotel in the Maldives because the All Inclusive board basis didn’t include chips for his children, so he gave the hotel a rating of 1. How about give your kids some of the local food, or even just healthy food instead!

Yes I read a review this weekend on Trip Advisor, where the American visitor had left a comment that the pillows were too hard.

I wonder if he bothered to ask for some softer pillows. Probably not because all you read on there are American’s moaning and groaning about trivial things.

I cannot beleive how people have the nerve to keep complaining. If theye were not satisfied the first time, why did they go again! Money grabbers, its so bad as the company has to keep paying for people like this.
