Travelling this holiday season? Avoid these common pet peeves

With the holidays fast approaching, many British Columbians are dreaming about their upcoming travel adventures with family and friends. Holiday travel can be an exciting and wonderful time for many, but what most forget about are the annoying travel habits of fellow travellers that threaten to take the joy out of getting to our destination!

According to a recent survey conducted by Travelocity.ca, the majority of British Columbians love travelling, but find that dealing with other people’s annoying travel habits prevent them from doing things that they enjoy. To reduce the aggravation of travelling during the holidays, British Columbians are proactively taking steps to avoid any hassle, specifically 74 per cent of British Columbians schedule their travel at off-peak times to avoid the crowds and 60 per cent booking in advance to get the best deals.
