Landing on home soil to an empty fridge has been revealed as the biggest annoyance for Brits when returning from holiday, according to new research by easyJet followed by a mountain of post-holiday washing (67%) and unpacking suitcases (62%) completing the top three gripes.
The research was commissioned as the airline launches a brand-new food delivery partnership with Uber Eats, to help its hungry passengers coming home from holiday flights in September and help alleviate the leading post-holiday annoyance.
As part of the partnership easyJet and Uber have created a special ‘Post-holiday Fridge Filler’ Menu from Sainsbury’s which means weary post-holiday passengers can order the top post-holiday cupboard and fridge essentials with zero stress.
The Top 10 Post-Holiday Annoyances for Brits are as follows:
- Returning to an empty fridge with no food in it – 69%
- Having to tackle a mountain of post-holiday washing – 67%
- Unpacking your suitcase – 62%
- Catching up on lots of emails – 51%
- Opening and going through the post – 50%
- Adjusting to the British weather – 43%
- Dusting around the house – 31%
- Jet lag – 27%
- Bringing dead house plants back to life – 21%

To stay in holiday mode for as long as possible, 80% scroll through photo memories on their return 55% eat traditional food and drink from their holiday destination, while 39% play international music hits.
The findings also revealed that the top food item people find most important to stock up on their return from holiday is milk (78%), closely followed by bread (69%) and butter (38%).
