A recent survey by online holiday website sunshine.co.uk revealed some of the most bizarre complaints made by holidaymakers this year.

Some of the highlights included…

  • A British family that told of their distress at the sunny weather in Portugal and complained that they were too “hot and sweaty” in their holiday clothes. Try wear shorts and a t-shirt!
  • One irritated man complained at the number of plain black suitcases on the airport carousel, making it difficult for him to find his own plain black suitcase! He should have got one of those bright pink bands to put around it!
