When things go wrong when we’re travelling, clearly the best way to cheer ourselves up is to tell the world about it via Twitter. Or at least, that’s what these brave travellers decided to do… Here’s our round up of the greatest travel fails caught on Twitter.
Ouch. This one’s got to hurt.

Passport: check. Wallet: check. Suitcase: check. Means of actually being able to board the plane: Um… oops.
Note to self: print boarding passes before you need to go to airport. Argh #holidayfail

Who knew that India and Indonesia have entirely different currencies? Not this currency exchange cashier, worryingly.
At the bank, teller surprised that Indonesian rupiahs (what she gave me) are not the same as Indian rupees (what I asked for) #travelfail

Wow. We can only assume there must have been something seriously wrong with this holidaymaker’s Satnav…?

While there are many things we can control when we’re heading on holidays, the weather isn’t one of them. Sometimes, maybe it’s better not to check the forecast when you’re about to travel for some, ahem, ‘winter sun’.
Holiday weather forecast is rain and thunder storms all week! #ffs :0( #holidayfail

Well, at least this holidaymaker has her priorities in order.
I made it back from Sicily. Without any of my travel companions, or my phone, but at least I have limoncello. #travelfail

Having a car on holiday is great for so many reasons. Its ability to remain roadworthy on a sandy beach probably isn’t one of them.

And this is why you should always, always check the opening times…

Nope. As this keen-eyed traveller has spotted, it’s not even close…
Just landed in Detroit. Which, I can't help but notice, is *not* NYC. #travelfail

And finally… This is not a post-holiday story you ever want to have to tell. Ever.
