Not many of you travel in a group or with work colleagues at the moment, but we are all dreaming of not only leisure travel but even a cheeky business trip in the future!



Most of you travel for leisure, but also to be reunited with our friends and family that have been estranged to us over FTMF (Far-Too-Many-Facetimes).

Only 1% of you are not travelling at all, but hopefully still dreaming of hammocks under palm trees and sunset cocktails.
