Holiday Planning
Introduction
My friends and I decided to go on a one week holiday this summer to a place we didn't visit before. We were thinking about the romantic Paris or exotic Madrid. We have a budget of £1000 each and we are four of us. We also have to bear in mind that being in a foreign place we need to have some extra cash left just in case, and we also want to buy souvenirs for friends and family and maybe treat ourselves. We had to take into account the advantages and disadvantages of both places and choose the most convenient and affordable place. We also had to calculate the prices for the trip and the cost of living in order to be on the safe side, and the temperature range across different types of weather conditions in both places. I told my friends that we need to organise ourselves in order to get all the information we needed so we can make a decision. One of my friends and I decided to check for the flights and hotel and the other two of my friends were going to check the weather and touristic attractions or other things to do there. Having checked and obtained all the information we had a meeting in order to discuss our options.
Option 1. Madrid
Me: I have searched on internet and I found these really good offers for Madrid with low cost flights from Luton:
As we can see from this chart, Madrid is a very expensive destination. If we choose the whole package with return flights + hotel + car rental, the cheapest one at a convenient time is £900.00 per person. If we choose the flight only offer and add up the hotel that would be around £700 on average per person and adding the flight cost of £128.00 and car rental which is £72.00 this would be £900.00 which is not really good as we don't have too much left in our pockets. The savings would be £100.00 which is 10% or 1/10 of all our budget. So the lowest value for the trip is £900.00 without any expenses and the whole package is around the same.
700.00 + 128.00 + 72.00 = 900.00
