Ah, your long awaited holiday is here. The out of office is on, your bags are packed and you can almost feel the sun on your skin. But before you get to that carefree stage, you’ve gotta face the airport. These are the moments you’ll most definitely go through…

1. The constant passport check

You’ve never lost your passport. You’ve never turned up at the airport without it. Yet you have to check it’s there every five seconds.

2. Praying the check in team don’t kick off at you being over the allowance

What’s 2kg between friends?

3. Checking out your friend’s luggage

You’ve either underpacked or overpacked and now there’s nothing you can do about it.

4. When you’ve gotta separate all your bits into trays

Don’t mind me, just emptying my straighteners, hairdryer and fifteen chargers for a two day trip. DON’T JUDGE ME.

5. And the stress of racing against time to gather your life back together

The ante is upped if you picked shoes with laces. Score.

10. Picking up a book

Even know you never normally read. And the flight’s only two hours.

11. Questioning whether you need one of those fancy AF neck pillows

And then instantly regretting not getting one when everyone else is sound asleep and you’re not.

12. Being outraged at the price of things at the airport

Everything’s double the cost. I’m a captive audience. Why.

13. Racing to queue once your gate opens

Even though it makes no difference.  You’re getting on the plane regardless.

14. Taking half a dozen plane pics when you board

Because no-one’s ever seen a plane window before.
