But having to decant my moisturiser and only bring one book never made it feel worthwhile. Until now, that is. Wherever you are in Europe or the United States, airport chaos reigns.

In some cases, the unprecedented surcharges are nearly as much as the base fare of the flight itself, prompting people to seek out other modes of transport, such as high-speed rail.

With the spread of the novel coronavirus, countries, companies and airlines are limiting, or even banning certain trips. It makes sense: the situation is complicated by the fact that travellers can show no or few symptoms, board a plane, and be almost anywhere in the world within hours. It’s not only Covid-19 that can spread this way. Passengers with the common cold or flu can board a plane and spread their illness to other passengers.

Countries across the world – from Iceland to Croatia to Australia – kept tourists on their toes with exciting attractions and natural wonders. The debut of Instagram in October 2010, too, kept many of these destinations top of mind. If you didn’t take a picture of a mineral spring in Iceland, for instance, did you even go?

It’s so easy to sign up for a loyalty programme, and then forget that you’ve done so, and never bother to check your status. Even if you remember (or are reminded by the airline that a bunch of your frequent flier miles are going to expire), often people just can’t be bothered to deal, and let those valuable loyalty points go.

Or maybe you’ve only got a couple of days left, you’re down to your last sweater that has to last until you get home, and you drop pizza on it.

Travellers have long dipped into local culture with cooking classes and tastings of wine, beer and chocolate.

Ridiculously blue waters. History-laden streets. Add to this its inviting, Mediterranean vibe and dramatic location between the Dinaric Alps and the Adriatic Sea, and it’s no wonder Dubrovnik has a well-deserved reputation as the “pearl of the Adriatic”.

They wallow over the end of summer, seeing the season as a time of mourning. But those glass-half-empty people are wrong. Autumn is a season for rejoicing, because while the weather cools off in the Northern Hemisphere and birds begin their long slog south, travel to Europe is at its best.

But while you might enjoy someone’s company over dinner, on the tennis court or on a bar crawl, a getaway with the same person or people could be a recipe for disaster.
