How much is your 2023 holiday costing you?

[FreakyFrie]

Just wondering what people are booking and at what price? If anyones found any real bargains!

Today I have booked..

10 nights in the Balearic Islands.
hotel is beach front and it includes bed and breakfast at £1,845
flights for 2 adult, 2 children is £855 via easyJet.
Going in July 2 days before schools break up so flights were still a bit high but not as much as a few days later.
so approx 2.7K

I didn’t think it was too bad as a school mum told me they are paying 6k to go to Spain next year! They have 1 extra child though!

Would love to book something really cheap in aug but I doubt that will happen!

I have a 0% cc and put it on there and pay monthly. Our holidays aren't too expensive though. 1.5k for the abroad one. We couldn't afford more than that.

Aww no problem 😂😄

Pointless post really on a holiday forum...

@gymgymgim yep, I’m sure there are. I’m not on those threads because they don’t relate to me. Why are you on here?

@RedRiverShore2 competitive coldness 😂

It's odd people referring to others as liars, do they not realise some people really do either earn/win/inherit large sums of money and for them £10k is a perfectly acceptable amount to spend on a holiday. I'm feeling envious reading some of these but still love seeing where everyone is going.

A small fortune to go to Florida. Literally going to have to sell my body.

Wow that’s reasonable. I need to search around

I’m pretty sure if you were on my salary you’d be here posting about your nice holidays too.

Not all of us are impacted by the current situation. Should we all take a minimum wage job and not go on holiday just because you can’t? I could never have children. Should everyone else stop having children because I can’t so I don’t feel so disadvantaged? Stop being ridiculous. Why not spend some time furthering your skills to improve your income instead of moaning here.

I agree, we’ll be in the parks for a fortnight and I ain’t travelling two hours every day to get there!

What's your salary then?

So far, 4 nights in Paris for flights and accommodation for 6 has cost £1700. We'll be doing Disney so easily another £1700 on spends.

Looking for the summer and October bit as dsis works in a school and I work for myself we're going to.hold out for something cheaper nearer the time! Prices are high compared to previous years

What's your salary then?

So she can be called a liar or boaster?

I have a standing order that immediately removes a portion of money on payday and puts into an account that is designated for holidays. If it is not in my current account then I don't mentally allocate it for regular spending. It has been removed from my consciousness so to speak.

I also sell a few bits here and there on facebay and that automatically gets put into the holiday account.

No, just interested.

I was with you until your last sentence which promotes the philosophy of meritocracy. That is a cruel, right wing concept (I know you may not have intended to promote that). The notion that everyone has the opportunity to ‘better themselves’. It soothes the conscious of those participating in right wing politics and other selfish, well off people. Not everyone can do that. Those with serious physical health problems, intellectual limitations, learning and physical disability should not have to live in poverty because they can’t ‘further their skills to improve their income’. It’s an unnecessarily hurtful comment.

Mallorca £3200 All inclusive 4 star. For a family of 5 including a teen in mid August. Booked as a package. Put money aside monthly throughout the year to pay for it.

Conscience not conscious 🙄

No, just interested.

What do you earn?

It genuinely blows my mind that people pay £4k+ to go to places like Spain

My parents thought similar & bought a holiday home in the south of France. Love it & get a very cheap holiday!

I wish I were one of those people who could bite their tongue… but no.

@AnnieSnap pay zero need to someone telling you to “read a book” when they themselves have a username equating their worth to their husband.

The username just highlights her nationality and does not indicate her financial worth is due to her husband. She may well have a six figure salary.

Really… You have no clue what the username is in relation too. Most of them are made up crap 😂😂😂

In summer £32,400

6.3 two weeks AI, Ibiza. August. 2 adults and 2 kids. It s not high end by any stretch.
