Civil Aviation Authority ATOL Public Polling May 2018

GB public research on last-minute holiday bookings, items forgotten when packing, and celebrities on holiday.

Approaching half of all British adults say they have never left the booking of their flights until the very last minute: 46% say they have always booked their flight more than a week in advance of going on holiday.
Those aged 18-24 are most likely to forget any given item tested when packing for their holiday, including sunglasses (32% compared with 16% across all adults), toiletries (27% vs. 14% avg), phones/laptops/chargers (21% vs. 12% avg), and swimming costume (15% vs 9% avg).
Of the celebrities tested, Ed Sheeran is most likely to inspire the average Briton to go up and ask to take a picture with him – 21% report they would do this if they saw him at their hotel/resort.
