Holiday or flight gift card

10 replies

Hi, I'm looking to get my son a holiday or flight voucher for his 21st and I seem to be going round in circles. Is this a thing? I don't want a general one as some of the sites seem a bit dodgy. I think Ryanair do one but are there any others? I know I could give him money obviously but he loves to travel so I thought this would be better.

In all honesty, give him money, perhaps a reliable brand of prepaid credit card - much more flexible

Fair enough. I was trying to stay away from money as I wanted to make sure he booked a holiday/city break. He has the tendency to spend money on his business. Thanks though

Love2shop holidays do gift vouchers.
So do TUI
So do lastminute.com
So do Jet2
So do Hays Travel

I found these 2xminutes googling.
You've got to bear in mind with gift vouchers for any company, anyone can go bust at anytime

I have been Googling thanks. It was mostly random gift voucher companies advertising for the travel companies. I wasn't sure if they were legit.

Could you load some travel spending money onto a travel card like the Post office one or Revolut?

What about a Eurostar voucher? Better for the environment than flying and he can travel to France, Belgium, Holland etc

Maybe print him a home made voucher and book it for him when he has decided??? I wouldn't buy travel vouchers as they are a pig to use up and will restrict his choices. A lovely gift though, he's very lucky.

Thanks for this idea, I didn't think of that.

Thanks, I see your point. He would be restricted probably depending on the voucher. Aw yes he is lucky, loves to travel and I'm all about him seeing the world so thought it would be a good gift x
