How to plan a holiday fund

Add flights, accommodation, transfers, food, activities and a 15% buffer for spending money.
- 2
Set your travel date at least 2 weeks before you fly to cover pre-holiday costs.
- 3
Open a separate savings pot so the money is out of sight until departure.
- 4
Book flights on a Tuesday afternoon — historically the cheapest slot for UK carriers.

FAQs
How much should I save each month for a UK family holiday?+
The average UK family holiday costs £3,200. Saving over 8 months requires £400/month. Our planner personalises this to your income and existing savings.
Should I use a credit card or save up?+
Saving up avoids 20%+ interest. If you already have the money, a fee-free debit card gives you the best exchange rate abroad.
What's the best UK savings account for a holiday fund?+
A regular saver or easy-access ISA is ideal because you can withdraw before travel without penalty. Rates change often — compare before committing.
