[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Expect close to 10k for flights and then there is a LOT of flexibility on the rest.  We spent about 18K on our trip to London and Paris last spring break for 4.  Would have been more like 15-16 if we only did London.  Smaller cities are a lot cheaper for lodging and activities.  You can spend a ton on private tours or just wing it and see lots of beautiful things for free.  I’d figure out your priorities and where you’re willing to skimp and go from there.

Fwiw I I was just looking at Spain for this summer and you can spend $600 night for a room at the JW marriot or $19@ a night for the cheaper marriot version up the street.  So there’s a huge range.  You can often get gorgeous lodgings for cheap in the “lesser” cities.  [/quote]

$10K for flights is crazy. We just did London/the UK for spring break, and leaving the Wednesday night before spring break, we paid about $600pp for my family of 6.

All in, for 10 nights, we probably spent about $10-11K for our family of 6. This included 4 nights in London at a nice hotel where we needed 2 rooms and paid extra for a view, 1 night in Inverness at an AirBnB, 2 nights in Edinburgh in a room that actually fit all 6 of us in 5 beds, 2 nights in Leeds in 2 rooms at a Marriott, and 1 night at an airport hotel near Heathrow in 2 rooms that we booked on points. We booked all of this fairly late, so if I had booked earlier, we probably could have saved quite a bit on hotels.

In 2023, we did Amsterdam and Copenhagen for spring break, and it was considerably less expensive. Your total costs really depend on where you are going.[/quote]

What airline and how long did you spend in Iceland or Dublin for $600 pp to London?

And different people have different definitions of “nice hotels”[/quote]

Zero time in Ireland or Dublin. We flew American with a 1 hour layover in Boston. And we stayed in London at the Park Plaza County Hall, which is an actual quite nice hotel. [/quote]
