Have a Very Merry Christmas – without the in-laws

Friday, 19 Dec, 2012 0

If you want to escape the in-laws this Christmas you are not alone.

Around 20% of people polled by Cheapflights.com.au wish they could travel to escape their family, with five percent of respondents doing exactly that this Christmas.

Parents and children topped the list of favourite family members to visit while the in-laws dipped out with less than two percent of people having them on their holiday travel wish-list.

More than 10% of the cheapflights.com.au survey respondents said that they would avoid seeing their brother or sisters.

The survey cites the cost of peak-season travel as the main reason for not visiting their families this Christmas.

Eighty percent of Australians want to travel to see family this Christmas but less than 40% have actually made travel plans, the survey found.
