to ask how much you are spending on your foreign summer family holiday this year?

[PrintScreen]

I've spent today getting quotes for my family of 5 to spend two weeks in Spain/Italy/Greece/Turkey. I'm astounded by how much it costs to spend a fortnight away. Mark Warner quoted me over £10k for s fortnight in their cheapest resort!!!

So where are you going and how much are you paying for flights plus accommodation?

Lots of people have said they hadn't noticed it was a zombie. Just highlighting it as people often want to know and may have missed it like I did

£1200 for 11 nights in Catalonia in June. Full board in 4* hotel, flights included in that price. 2 adults and a 3 year old. We booked it all last year.

1 week in Cornwall, self-catering house, 3 adults, 3 children, 2 dogs £1100. Usually we go camping - last year we paid about £370 for 10 days on a campsite.

We don't tend to have long summer holidays, just a few breaks through the year. Last year we went to Berlin for just under £1K for flights and hotel for 3 of us in a suite with two bedrooms for 4 nights.

I was considering Munich this year and it will come to around £1200 for 4 nights and flights from a regional airport.

I looked at a similar break to South Tyrol and Citalia want £2400! For 4 nights!

Great thread. We are going to Southern Spain in August for 10 nights.£600 for three return flights with two checked bags. We booked flights in October with Easyjet the day after they were released.
Lovely SC apartment on the seafront for £900. I imagine spends will be around £1000 or thereabouts.
We have just come back from a couple of nights in London. We normally go away in May half term, but DD has exams, so not this time.

In October DH and I both celebrate a significant birthday, so we are going to New York in the October half term with 15 year old DD. Flying from Dublin which cut the costs a fair bit. £1600 for flights, the same for accommodation for a week, and god knows how much money for spends. Been a while since we have been to New York, but cheap it aint..

£1500 for flights, accommodation (nice mobile home) and car hire. Nine nights at a eurocamp in Switzerland. July, school hols.

Think we will drive to DLP in Sept, that's going to be a grand ish.

Oh, there are five of us (adults 3 children)

Why the need to shout zombie thread as though it is some kind of game and you get brownie points for it.

Zombie threads can be useful and interesting. I don't get the hysteria.

We are spending about £3,000 for a fortnight for five of us in a villa in Portugal this August.

Looking forward to it. I like the holiday threads.

Half of a villa (going with second family) in Provence, ferries and camping on way and back costing just over £3k.

£950! We are off to Corfu for a week in May. 4 bed villa - all doubles, private pool and the garden opens onto the beach £550! And flights for 3 of us - £400. Thought it was a brilliant deal!

We just booked our first decent holiday in years, 7 days in Dutch Centerparcs plus 3 days at themed hotel room at Die Efteling (Dutch disneyland type theme park) Costing about £2,000 for the 5 of us including flights. and we are really struggling with paying for this. I'm curious to know how ordinary people (who don't have thousands of pounds in savings but are basically paying their mortgage and bills out of their salary every month) manage to pay for such expensive holidays on a regular basis. Loads of people (who are not mega loaded as far as I know) I know go on holidays that must cost at least 2-5 grand fairly regularly. Do people save up for a year to pay for it, or put it on credit and pay a fortune in interest?

In the past 7 years we haven't been able to afford anything like that much. We've spent £200-£300 on ferry and camping in France, or a mobile home holiday in the UK.

Try Croatia, just as nice as Italy, much cheaper, less over run by Brits. Trip Advisor for accommodation, make offers.

Not spending a penny. That was easy.

I forgot about Car hire. We paid £250 for 10 days. That takes the whole holiday to around £2800.
We paid roughly around the same last year in Portugal, but for two weeks rather than ten days.

I'd like to revise my earlier post as I've just remembered we're using tesco reward points for the crossing. Therefore, 14 nights in SW France for £1k accommodation and diesel/ tolls. Plus around £1k spending money!

£1k on Brittany in may half term (gite)
£3.3k on Mallorca in August (villa with mini pool found on trip advisor, eye watering will be totally shit Monarch flights)

Family of 5.

The August was a treat and now is a bit of a stetch as we are moving. Whoops. Always do Brittany. Holidays are super important though imo.

Greek villa with a pool plus flights for 4 adults and two kids and a one day stop off with hotel in Athens, just after May half term ~3.5K.

Last year we went to Egypt in June, staying at Coral Sea Waterworld for two weeks. It cost 980pp so just under £3k for a family of three then we paid £15 each to choose our seats on the plane.

We booked to go again for 2 weeks this June, costing £1020pp but had a free child's place so £2040 for a family of three and then the £15 each to book seats on top. Unfortunately the airline has cancelled due to FCO travel advice

I am also shocked and amazed how ordinary people can afford these holidays.

We 4 are going to Italy in August: easy jet flights & staying in static caravan on the lake for a week: £1700 approx. No car hire, use local bus from airport so only food to buy.

Don't normally go abroad. But last year we had a week in villa in Praia da Luz in the Algarve, with private pool. 2 bedrooms slept 4, really well appointed. We booked it separately from the flights. Villa was 1300 Euro, flights (for 4) were another £1500. So about £2.5K in all. Plus car rental for a couple of days etc, food and so on..

We normally pay between £600-800 for a week in Devon or somewhere, in a nice cottage.

both just for a week to be clear..

Jollyfrenchy Centerparcs is eye-wateringly expensive in the UK. We had 5 nights in one in NE France a few years ago which, including night in hotel in Kent, Dover-Calais ferry and all petrol was still half what it cost for the same week at Longleat.

£20k on a holiday to Maui.

Because Maui.

(Sadly in reality we have nothing planned yet!)

We had a beautiful villa in the Algarve last year, in a secluded area with its own pool. 5 adults and 2 children ( we took grandparents and BIL too) including flights and 2 hire cars it was about £2500.
The year before we did Disneyland Paris, 2 adults and a child, 5 park days with half board for around £1000

I've not paid but my lovely parents have paid 7.5k for 7 of us in a villa in Orlando for 3 weeks. We are paying for car hire which has cost £800approx and we are taking about £1.5k spending money. As we live in the Middle East and are flying back to the U.K first then back here there's another £1.5k plus spending money for when we're in the UK. So all in all this summer is costing us about £4k
