Charterresor (Charter trips)

For those among you who enjoy traveling to exotic warm places but would like to avoid anything even slightly authentic or meet anybody from that country, charter trips are for you. You buy a package from a travel agency that gives you a flight, a hotel and (usually) the bus ride between the airport and the place where you are staying. They also organize different events at the hotel, like ABBA-night, and they have childcare pretty much 24/7 so that you can relax by the pool. The staff is usually 100% Scandinavian and so are the guides, if you were ever to venture out from the gated community in which the tourists are held. More and more people also elect to add “all-inclusive” to their trip which means that you eat every meal at the hotel, your kids get unlimited ice cream and you get unlimited drinks. For some this is the epitome of vacation. Just letting go and having your every need catered to. For others it is a nightmare. 

But even the latter category might be persuaded to go on a charter trip because of the low price. If you wait until the last minute and are not picky about where you want to go, you can get the whole package for just a couple of hundred bucks. The charter trip experience was famously captured in the “Sällskapsresan” movie series (look under S). Want to browse some last-minute charter trips?
