Funny Travellers

Travel expands your horizons, both literally, and in terms of learning about new cultures and places. While we always taught that there is no such thing as a silly question, a collection of travel agents and tour operators from around the world have documented 20 of the funniest that they have ever heard, listed below.

“How do you wind the window down?”

“I’ve forgotten something, can we turn around?”

“Please can you ask the crew to fly lower the plane as my wife is scared of heights?”
