Fifth of us instantly regret a holiday booking straight after making it

More than a fifth of remorseful Brits instantly regret a holiday booking straight after making it - while a quarter end up hating their travel partner so much they wish they'd gone with someone else. A startling 22% of Brits instantly regret their holiday choice straight after booking it, with a further third (34%) rueing their decision when returning from their trip.

They admitted to wasting on average an eye-watering £1,111 on breaks they wish they hadn't bothered with. According to ONS data the UK collectively had 58.7million holidays, meaning that almost £6.5billion has been wasted on holiday regrets by the nation.

More than two-thirds (67%) of Brits are now choosing their holidays and hotels solely based on value for money. The survey, conducted by travel giant On the Beach, revealed that hard-working Brits are prioritising jet-setting trips - even when cash is tight.
