Two in three 'fall out on holiday'

A summer holiday can often result in two out of three people falling out with friends or loved ones, it has been claimed.

The travellers cheques department of American Express has conducted research which shows that 65 per cent of holidaymakers argue even before the plane has left the ground.

Respondents indicated that what to pack was a big issue (48 per cent), as well as getting to the airport on time (40 per cent) and the quality of the accommodation (17 per cent).

According to Kirstie Bayley, director at American Express Travellers Cheques, "holidaymakers have a lot to think about when they go way", especially financially.

She said: "The last thing they are going to want to worry about is money. Sorting your travel money in advance of your holiday can alleviate this and buying travellers cheques can mean you have one less thing to worry about."

Summer officially begins on June 21st with the summer solstice.
