Kabe celebrates 60 years - with 2-storey caravan

Caravan and motorhome manufacturer KABE recently celebrated 60 years at Elmia in Sweden. Jönköpingtogether with about 2000 guests. A unique two-storey caravan was presented for the anniversary celebration.

The spectacular caravan is 26 square metres, has a terrace on the roof - and despite its special design, it's perfectly drivable! Whether or not it will actually go into series production remains to be seen ...

Cheapest flights - really

Low-cost airlines usually seem to have the cheapest prices, but it can be difficult to tell because you often have to add various costs afterwards. Skyscanner conducted a study that looked at average airfares and the cost of baggage, seat reservations and in-flight meals.

Ryanair was the cheapest in terms of airfares and seat reservations, but their baggage fees mean that a ticket with Finnair can be cheaper. Here are the flights with the best value for money:

1. Ryanair/Finnair
2. Air France
3. Norwegian
4. KLM/Lufthansa
5. Wizz air
6. Easy jet
7. Vueling
8. SAS

Low status - but still popular

According to a Sifo survey by Ticket, all-inclusive is not seen as a high-status holiday. Instead, it is exotic travel to paradise islands, adventure travel and cultural travel that have high status in society.

But despite the low status, more than half of Swedes, 53 per cent, can imagine travelling on All Inclusive. The main reasons for choosing All Inclusive are convenience and simplicity when travelling with children.

What Swedes do on holiday

On a sunshine holiday you want to relax and let go of everyday life, but does that also mean you behave differently? According to a new survey from eBeach.se, we do things on holiday that we might not do at home, some of them better and some of them worse. Here are the Top 10 - what Swedes have done on holiday:

1. Paxat sun loungers (46 %)
2. Played ball sports on the beach (30 %)
3. Smoked in outdoor cafés (24 %)
4. Became too drunk (24 %)
5. Made the bomb in the pool (20 %)
6. Bathed naked (13 %)
7. Barbecue on the beach (9 %)
8. Kissed in the pool (8 %)
9. Playing loud music on the beach (7 %)
10. Leaving rubbish at the sunbed (5 %)

Pilotless planes in the future?

Pilotless planes could bring greater safety and "significant economic benefits" to airlines, says the Financial Times. However, travellers do not seem to be on board. In a survey of 8,000 respondents, 54 per cent said that they do not want to fly pilotless, while only 17 per cent were keen to try it, according to di.se. However, younger travellers are more positive about pilotless planes than older ones.
