Let Virgin Atlantic tell you where to go on holiday. Use their new, fun site to pack a dream suitcase of your chosen items and they will tell you where you should be jetting off to.
And, unlike the items above that some people have tried to check-in, you can pack anything from bikinis and bow ties to snorkels and stilettos.
Whether you should be off on a Caribbean chill out, a stateside adventure, or fun in the Far East, you’ll also be given advice on where to go, what to see and do and where to eat.
Click on virginatlantic.com/letitfly where you’ll also be shown live tweets from from the destination and a unique, personal film to put you in the mood to fly.
Although flip flops, sunglasses, guidebooks and towels are among the most popular items to pack, Virgin Atlantic has put together some of the stranger items that travellers have tried to take on board…
- A lady had her family carry her bath tub through the airport at JFK expecting the item to be checked in – it wasn’t even wrapped or packaged – she just turned up with it at the check-in desk.
- One gentleman tried to check in a full size mattress at Atlanta airport. His hotel bed was so comfy he bought it and wanted to bring it home.
- One lady tried to bring a car door home from Orlando.
- One passenger turned up at check-in with a bag of frozen crabs and a freeze dried blow fish.
- One lady tried to bring her pet tarantula on board, hidden inside her coat at JFK airport.
- One family tried to check in a dead cow wrapped in plastic at JFK airport.
- A couple who fell in love on the island of Grenada decided to try and check in a bag full of sand, shells and sea water as a memory from the island they met and fell in love on.
