A TRAVELLER has revealed why you should always have a “mistake fund” before booking a holiday.
Brits save up all year to jet away when summer hits – and no one wants their week of bliss to be ruined.

Unfortunately, things can happen which are out of holidaymakers control that could put a dampener on things.
But one expert has revealed the best way to ensure “one bad thing” doesn’t ruin the whole trip.
Posting on Reddit, the user said anyone heading abroad should put a minimum of £100 extra away for “mistakes”.
They said: “Give yourself say £100 – £500 (depending on the trip) where your mistakes cost will go to.
“For example, a missed train ride, or flight change fee, tourist scams, etc.
“It will help you not let one bad thing ruin the whole trip, especially if you are travelling with a travel partner or group.”
In response to the tip, one person said: “Love this!!
“If I had planned like that, I wouldn’t have been bent out of shape to this day over my £90 Spanish taxi rip off to the airport from over 10 years ago.”
Another commented: “I call this the ‘stupid’ tax.
“In life sometimes you just get things wrong – and you have to pay for just being dumb.”
It comes after a woman revealed a genius travel tip to prevent creased clothes on holiday – and you can pack it in your hand luggage.
This simple hack is perfect for saving holidaymakers ironing in the heat or going out with crumpled outfits.
And one simple travel item that costs just £6 will mean you’ll never get stopped by airport security again.
