Last year, I traveled to Laos, but I didn’t want to go off the beaten track, so I went with an organized group. It was terrible. They just seemed to complain all the time.

The first problem was at the airport. Some people went for coffee and left their luggage unattended, which meant security took it away! Then others had brought too much hand luggage, and it couldn’t fit into the overhead locker. While we were watching the safety demonstration and everyone was getting ready for take-off, the pilot suddenly announced the flight would be delayed due to bad weather.

In the end, we took off four hours late. Because our flight time was changed and we used a different—longer—route, we had to stop in Doha for more fuel! Some of the passengers got really annoyed. They were shouting that they’d booked a direct flight and wanted to get off the plane! I hoped that things would get better when we reached our destination, but sadly, when we finally got to Laos, things got even worse.
