Brits are so eager to get to their holidays, that 27% say they pack their bags a week in advance, according to a new survey.

Women are far more excited about packing early, as 37% have their bags by the door ready to go a week before the holiday. Just 18% of men say they are all packed a week before.

Deciding what to pack for the holiday can be a struggle, and 31% of people say they re-pack at least twice before going. Majority of the respondents said they pack neatly, folding or rolling their clothes, but 13% say the squash their belongings in and nine per cent just throw things in.

The survey was conducted by Jet2Holidays.
