And this is a demographic with money to spend. A recent report by consultancy firm McKinsey found that baby boomers - those born between 1946-1964 - spent three times more than Gen Z on travel in 2023. Here is, possibly, the difference. While influencers might display the delights of a stylish, design-focussed hotel, many followers will not have the income to take the same trip themselves. The Lumley brand is different: a leisurely Nile cruise is within reach for a large proportion of her viewers.

8. Alpamere, ScarboroughThe ever-popular Alpamere combines rides with relaxation.

As will the wave pool, which erupts every 30 minutes. But if all that gets too much, the infinity pool, looking out of the bay, is a breathtaking place to swim. 9.

The best nights out are the ones that stretch into the morning – suddenly it’s 4am, and you’re dancing in a bar, and you can’t quite remember the circumstances that led there. Since the pandemic – and most likely before then, too – London, despite being a world capital, has lost more than 1,000 venues that would make this possible, with once-24 hour neighbourhoods like Soho fielding the brunt of this loss.

While weighing passengers ahead of boarding has been mooted, the approximate distribution of mass does have to be calculated before each flight. Airlines are keen to emphasise that if one side, or section, of the plane is heavier than another part, flying the aircraft can become difficult. Any extra "drag" - when air resistance becomes noticeable - is something the pilot must consider. And it can increase fuel costs, too, which can in turn affect ticket prices - something none of us want.
