Vintage UK Holidays & Travel Adverts (Vol.3)

[@gwheregwhizz]

What I loved about growing up in the 1980s. Weeks before Christmas there were constant Christmas adverts wishing us a Merry Xmas, then on Christmas Day and the shops are shut ... holiday adverts ... and DFS sale starts Boxing Day (though ends Christmas Eve) 😊

[@gwheregwhizz]

There was something exciting about cutting out the coupon in the TV Times Christmas double issue, Málaga, Corsica... then ending up with three nights in Pontins.

Only ever in our memories now. 🎄😔

88 mph......nice touch that 😉

I was originally going to put the year of each advert there, but it was impossible to research every one.

Never went abroad as a kid as we couldn't afford it, but we went to Wales every July for a week to a caravan. Great memories. wasn't till i was 18 and working when I started travelling abroad 🎉

@@davidbowie2046 I've always been one for homeland holidays. I don't even have a passport.

[@mikekaraoke]

Really, not even with vouchers/coupons??????????????

[@RetroSteveUK]

@@mikekaraoke Nothing to do with cost. I've just never needed one.

[@mikekaraoke]

@@RetroSteveUK That was to @davidbowie2046 not you Steve. I did reply underneath his comment lol

[@RetroSteveUK]

Gets confusing, doesn't it? 🤪

[@hbkgoon]

Is that Hugh Bonneville in the Thorpe park ad ? 😎

[@RetroSteveUK]

I think that's an actor that just looks like him.

[@hbkgoon]

@ ah very uncanny tho eh lol 😂

[@jwb52z9]

It took me a bit to understand the first ad because most of the US never needs a ferry, especially one for cars.

[@martinwalsh3228]

I'm sure including Ireland & worldwide.

[@nellyfett2681]

Is that Gillian Anderson on Olympic airlines? Edit - maybe not but that must be her doppelganger!
