Over five million Brits are estimated to be jetting off abroad over Christmas and New Year, according to ABTA.
Meanwhile, a whopping 23 million trips are expected to be made in the final quarter of 2025.
With the surge of holidaymakers heading away on their festive breaks, one expert has warned against making a common vaping mistake.
Dan Merchant, Vape Club director, urged travellers to check the rules of the country they are visiting beforehand.
Some destinations have banned vaping completely, including Singapore and Thailand.
Dan says, ‘As vaping grows in popularity globally, the laws surrounding it are constantly changing.
‘It’s crucial for vapers to check the local vaping laws of their destination before booking their trip to avoid potential fines, or even more severe consequences if vaping is banned in that country.’
Holidaymakers not following the local rules could be faced with fines, like in Cyprus where it is illagel to vape in public areas or in a private vehicle with a child.

If caught breaking the regulations, travellers could receive a fine of up to €850 (£744), according to Vape Club.
Meanwhile, vaping in Hungary in public spaces could lead to a whopping $980 (£732) charge.
Dan adds, ‘The illegal vape trade has grown in countries where vaping is under strict regulation and mirrors the issues once prevalent in the cigarette black market, including youth usage, potentially dangerous products, and unregulated retail sales.
‘To avoid using illegal and potentially harmful products, it’s advisable for travellers to bring their own vaping devices and supplies to countries that permit them in limited quantities for personal use.’
What’s more, it is prohibited to vape on a plane in the UK and doing so could lead to a fine of up to £5,000 as well as a ban from the airline.
It’s important to pack vapes in hand luggage, but don’t make the mistake of using the device on board.
Dan says, ‘For those travelling to vaping-friendly destinations by plane, remember to pack your batteries and vaping devices in your carry-on luggage.
‘This ensures they remain in a pressure-controlled environment, as they’re not allowed in checked baggage.’

In recent months, a number of airlines have put strict rules in place that prohibit passengers from bringing power banks in checked luggage going into the hold.
This is due to the risk of lithium batteries overheating and causing fires in the cargo hold.
If damaged, lithium-ion batteries can create aggressive fires and release highly toxic fumes.
This is a process known as thermal runway.
