Avoiding Game of Thrones spoilers might as well be a full-time job. With the season finale upon us (already!) it’s time you reward yourself for those Monday mornings spent strategically navigating the spoiler-laden minefield that is your Facebook newsfeed while listening to a heavy metal Spotify playlist and wearing noise-cancelling headphones in case you overhear anything on your commute. And honestly, while the events of the finale are yet to be seen (unless you’re counting on another leaked episode – shame, shame!), you don’t need to be Three Eyed Raven to know your emotional well-being will probably be a little worse for wear come next Monday.

Time to say farewell to Westeros for a while and plan a holiday of your own, and quite frankly, you’ll need it after this year’s washout of an August. Whether you’re siding with Cersei, Jon Snow or Baelish, we all have something in common here. We all love travelling. Trade the iron throne for a window seat and celebrate (or mourn) the last episode of this year’s GOT with these classic GIFs that perfectly sum up going on holiday. Then start planning your own trip on Cheapflights.co.nz without the worry of missing an episode.

1. The moment you decide you need to go on holiday ASAP, because you can’t remember the last time you left the country.

 

2. When you create a Whatsapp holiday group chat, and all your friends have different opinions about where you should go.

 

3. There’s that one friend who has a million excuses for why they can’t commit to the trip.

 

4. And another who claims they’re too old to stay in a hostel.

5. But eventually, all your travel plans start coming together.

 

6. The feeling when you finally leave the office to head to the airport.

7. When you order your UBER and it can’t come soon enough.

8. Your face when you’re finally in the UBER listening to Despacito.

9. When you order your 9am airport burger and beer and you know nobody judges you.

10. When you board the plane and realise you’re surrounded by a 20-strong hens party.

11. And then you see their silly outfits.

12. But at least you can drown your sorrows with an in-flight drink.

13. You when the plane finally takes off and you manage to get a good aerial Instagram snap of the plane wings and the land below.

14. And you can feel your stresses easing away as you head further and further from Australian soil.

15. When you see the food trolley coming up the aisle and you’ve got the taste for a bacon sandwich and a can of full-fat Coke.

 

16. That feeling when you arrive in your holiday destination and finally feel the sand between your fingers and toes.

17. When you get to the beach early to snag a good spot, and then a tour bus turns up.

18. And you wake up the morning after a day by the pool and discover the extent of your sunburn.

19. When you realise it’s your last day of the holiday and you’re just not ready to come home yet.

20. And then you remember you’ve got work tomorrow.

 

21. But it’s ok, because you spend the whole day planning your next holiday.
