SINGAPORE: Of the vacation woes travellers here dread the most, flight cancellations come in tops, according to a Zuji study. As for pet peeves, finding out that the hotel is full or their booking is not found is the worst hotel irk for Singapore-based travellers.


The online travel agent released its Zuji-dex report on Monday (Sep 1), which showed that while travellers here love the jetsetting lifestyle, 43 per cent said being grounded due to flight cancellations was their worst nightmare. Having an uneasy stomach that requires 24/7 washroom access came in second at 34 per cent, the study revealed.


While the dread for flight cancellations is real, the majority of travellers, or 55 per cent, prefer to risk it rather than buy travel insurance.
