How much do you think this couple spent this year?

[Cherriesfloss]

• 2 weeks long haul holiday at Easter
• 1 week European sun holiday in May
• 2 week European holiday this summer
• 1 week U.K. break this summer
• 1 U.K. city break long weekend

For 2 adults. Travelling comfortably in a nice standard of accommodation, not budget but not lavish either. So eating out at nice enough places but not champagne & oysters for every meal!

How much do you think this has all cost in total?!

Nosey but interesting thread nonetheless. I reckon £8000 with some planning and getting good deals. . Otherwise , if not budget conscious then could be about £12,000. Op needs to let us know and put us out of our misery!.

OP still not returned to the thread then?

Quelle surprise.

OP hadn’t bothered returning, seems a bit pointless to keep adding guesses.

We will never know🤷🙄

Depends if they go luxury or budget

£12-15k

I'm not sure the point of this ...

Pointless thread if we’re never going to be enlightened!

I hope they enjoyed it whatever it cost - are you worried that your parents are spending your inheritance 😂

Unless they were travel agents!!!

I’ve absolutely no idea.
Why hasn’t OP responded after 10!! pages worth of replies
Does it matter, is it even any of our business?

£11k

@Cherriesfloss are you coming back?

The only way you could do all that for £50k, is if your First Class was on the train! The LH fortnight would be £30k alone. Long haul first roughly £8-10k each and nice 5* £7-800 a night.

We could do it for £10k but eating out every day rather than hotel would raise that a bit I would think. Also difficult as no indication of what they like doing. If they are paying for a lot of entrance fees ...art galleries/music/history that would up the price as well. If some of the holidays are mainly back based there isn't so much extra expenditure once they've paid for travel and accommodation.

@shiningstar2 I agree about eating out.

I don’t see how people coming up with figures in the £6-8k range can have accounted for the eating out that the OP talks about.

You might be able to get flights and accommodation for the £6-8k range just about but eating out is a significant cost.

I was in a European country this summer and a main meal out was about £30 each for a main meal and one drink. Lunch was about £10 each in light bite places. Breakfast was a few pounds each in the supermarket. If this couple did similar for 45 days that comes to £3870 for eating out. Maybe if they were in cheaper countries for some of the time they might be able to get the average down to £25 per day each but that’s still £2250.

Like you say attractions and activities can also really add up depending on what they like doing.

I don’t think we’re ever going to get the answer though so this speculation all feels frustratingly pointless now.

It definitely is how long is a piece of string. We’ve just booked a winter sun holiday. Booking cheap flights and direct with hotel saved 318. Exact same dates and exact same hotel (will probably get a better positioned room by booking direct) Only difference was less luggage which we didn’t need.

Same with eating out , in June we had meals with drinks from 38 euro for two up to 100 Euro for two. If I want to make it cheaper I eat chicken rather than steak and drink beer rather than cocktails or wine.

We regularly do 5 separate weeks in Europe for a total of 8 grand including all spends and we always stay in nice accommodation.

£15k?
OP do you know how much or wanting a guess?

Was any of it during school holidays?
