The 28-day all-inclusive holiday covers travel, accommodation and food. For those opting for the month-long stay at Egypt’s Stella Gardens Resort & Spa, spa and gym access, wi-fi and TV streaming services are included. Some of the other destinations on offer are Turkey, Malta and Portugal.
According to the UK Office for National Statistics’ inflation calculator, the trip – costing £650 ($767) per person – is £227 ($268) cheaper per person than staying in the UK for the month. Despite this, more than a quarter (28%) of Brits wrongly predicted that a month-long foreign holiday for a four-person family would cost double the price of them staying at home.
“While escaping abroad does not make all our financial commitments disappear, it’s startling to know that like for like, it’s cheaper to buy an all-inclusive holiday than stay in the UK this winter,” says British financial journalist Lynn Beattie.
Location-independent professionals are eager to blend business and leisure. EasyJet Holidays’ stays with wi-fi included cater for remote workers looking to affordably travel this winter while avoiding rising household bills in the UK.
