2016 has proved to be another busy year for the travel industry with no shortage of famils, conferences and events where cameras have oh-so-conveniently captured some incredible moments.

KarryOn flipped through its folder of shame (jokes, it’s not that bad) and found some epic pics that we just had to share.

1. That time Agents pretended to be Geishas – kimono, socks and all…
