So me and partner have 2 holidays booked this year.
Greece in September and a ski holiday in December.
I'm more than happy with this
He has now told me he has booked us 3 nights in Gran Canaria in 4 weeks
I questioned the 3 nights thing and he said they were really cheap flights (under £20 ) so he thought why not
Aibu to be a bit annoyed
It's a long way to go for 3 nights
We land on the Sunday at 10.30 am
We fly back on the Wednesday at 11.30 am

Would you be annoyed going all that way for 3 nights ?

I am a massive control freak and don't like people booking things for me without checking first so I'd be annoyed at that. But the actual distance wouldn't bother me, I went to Thailand for just a week before and to New York for 3 nights.

I don't consider Gran Canaria far at all. Certainly not "all that way". I think it's a lovely thing for him to do. You sound a bit miserable.

2 1/2 days of sun, sounds fine to me.

I'd be so happy with that!

It is a long flight for 3 nights but tbf I'd happily go.

No I would love it
It would be a fab little break away

Nope, not annoyed at all! 😄

It's not that far! I'm with him - sounds like a bargain. You get there at a decent time on Wednesday so you'll have three whole days there.

Seriously. What's not to like?

I think YABVVU reasonable to be annoyed with him.

No I'd be happy to have a little trip away tbh

I’d love it as an extra bonus! What’s bothering you about it?
