How do you pay for your summer holiday?

Do you - save up and pay it all at once. Or pay it off in instalments via a travel agent. Or get flights one month, accommodation later to spread the cost. Put it on a credit card and pay off gradually over the year. Or have enough money to pay for it all at once.

We're a mix. I've saved for a mini break over the jubilee and then for summer will probably get flights and then accommodation. Maybe reserve a hotel on the "pay at hotel" option.

I'd love to just be able to book them willy-nilly!

Pre pandemic I booked everything individually.
This year I've gone package paid monthly.
I can't be bothered sorting anything if flights and things get cancelled

I generally book last minute on a credit card and pay it off the next month, although booked last year for this year and have paid monthly as made sense! I generally book package as tend to be good value last minute, and I can't be bothered looking around!

I save each month to a separate bank account so by the time I'm ready to book there's enough money for almost everything
