Love Island star Shaughna Phillips reveals holiday nightmare as she shares travel advice

Shaughna Phillips detailed her travelling nightmare while on the way back from Alicante Airport this week. The Love Island star was on holiday with her family when the incident unfolded, prompting her to take to her Instagram Stories to share travel advice with her many followers.

The TV personality revealed there was an abnormal number of travellers at the airport, with 'snaking queues' reaching the back of the airport. However, she soon discovered a travel hack that got her entire family through the line without having to wait for hours.

"I've had loads of messages asking me about Alicante Airport and what happened because they're going to be using it. So, I thought I would jump on here quickly and tell you all because I did have a solid bit of advice," she said. It comes after a Brit abroad slams all-inclusive hotel food asking 'what on earth is this?'

She had a flight at 11:20am and arrived at the airport at 9am, but still had to 'run to the gates'. The reality star said they were sat by the gate for only five minutes before the flight started boarding.

"So we had no time, no shops, no wee breaks," the TV personality revealed. "When we got there it was like I've never see it before.

"It was like Selfridge's on Christmas morning with people queueing everywhere and you couldn't even tell where the queue started that you needed to be in.

"The queue for the EasyJet desk was about 30-35 minutes queue and it snaked like it was way out the barriers to where it was supposed to be. And that wasn't just EasyJet either."

The star said every single check-in and baggage drop desk was busy "apart from Jet2 because nothing beats a Jet2 holiday". The star went on to reveal there was another long queue that went "all the way back to the end of the airport".

She left her father-in-law in the queue to walk around with her baby and noticed there was a VIP fast track that bypassed the whole queue if travellers paid 10 euros to get through.

Shaughna said there was a black sign with a QR code at the front of the queue that has the information on the VIP queue.

Shaughna returned from her holiday this week and told fans she was "ready for an exciting few weeks/months". She said: "I feel like my life has somewhat been put on hold for the last few years, and it's finally coming to an end, only good times ahead."

The star later returned to her page to share her reality check moment. She wrote: "One minute you're laying by the pool and the next minute you're in Kennington getting a blood test, life comes at you fast."
