10x Waiting during your holiday

What a lot of waiting you have to do on holiday. Sometimes it's not too bad, but usually it is… And of course, you have to wait for the holiday itself.

1. Waiting at the check-in counter

Fortunately, you can usually check in online and drop off your luggage on the way there. But if that's not possible and it's busy...

2. Waiting for your flight

To be safe, you arrive at the airport well in advance. Only to get through the security check in no time and then wait 1.5 hours at the gate.

3. Waiting in a country where everything goes at a leisurely pace

Wonderful! That slow pace in other countries. Why rush if you can do everything slowly? Sometimes annoying, but I totally agree with them.

4. Delays

This is only fun if you hear at the hotel that you have to stay an extra night. Not if you've just checked in your luggage and have just paid for Burger King.

5. Waiting for your rental car

With a bit of luck, you're first in line and can speed away in no time. If not: just hope that everyone in front of you doesn't have too many questions.

6. Waiting at passport control

No problem without children under 14. With children under that age, you can enjoy standing in line for an hour. Extra fun after a 10-hour flight with very small children!

7. Waiting during the security check

The line usually isn't too bad. But if you have your laptop and camera with you, and you also have to take off your shoes… Then everyone has to wait for you!

8. Waiting in the jet bridge

Make sure you scan your boarding pass as late as possible. Because sometimes you have to wait in the jet bridge for a bit. If you're unlucky, it's one with windows where the sun shines brightly.

9. Waiting for everyone in front of you to get off the plane

This often takes a long time, doesn't it! What is everyone doing that it takes so long before you can finally start walking toward the exit?

10. Waiting at the baggage carousel

Waiting for your suitcase as you see the same suitcase pass by 100 times and wonder what the owner of that thing is doing. Who wouldn't want to grab their luggage off the carousel and leave as quickly as possible?
