Being a Travel Agent is hard, so sometimes it’s nice to know what others are doing to get ahead. That’s where Brisbane-based consultant, Mel Bobbermien steps in.
Do you ever sit and wonder, is there really such a thing as a ‘dumb question’? The answer is no. There are tonnes of hilarious questions though and Travel Agents get some of the best ones every single day.
Whether you need a pick me up or a reminder of the joys of travel, read on and prepare to literally laugh out loud.
#1 – Do we need to be twins to have Twin bedding? (I mean, Single guys & girls, get single bedding!)
#2 – How much is a flight from Brisbane to the Gold Coast?
#3 – Does my pet snake need a Visa for India? (Fun fact: YES!)
#4 – How much does my 7kg of carry-on luggage weigh?
#5 – If I cancel my holiday, can I still go? (Points for effort, right?!)
#6 – How long does it take to get to Rotorua, from anywhere?
#7 – Why do I have to stop on a RTW ticket? Can’t I just fly around the world?

#10 – Does Travel Insurance cover my camera being eaten by a clam? (Answer: Some do!)
#11 – How many pairs of socks should I pack?
