[Travel] Saving up for flights 2024 !

[Garyoldfan]

Not going on holiday this year as it’s pretty costly. Just fancy a week in Spain next summer with the family. Is there any app that I can pay monthly in to (without being able to get at it) and in March when the flights are announced I can spend the saved money on flights ?

I see Ryanair do vouchers so that’s a possibility but it would be from Luton.

I’m not mature with money as you may notice.

I’ve used loqbox for the accommodation but they are 12 month savings.

I know this is way off any football topic so I apologise for that !

This sort of thing always reminds me of the blokes who went door to door around a rough arsed Middleborough estate collecting a couple of quid every week, for the kids Christmas party.
They did it for months, taking in thousands of pounds then promptly disappeared on 01.12.

Tough not to admire them!

You can put money into 'pots' with Monzo. More info here: https://monzo.com/pots/

I've found it to be really useful for saving up for bigger things.

You could simply buy Easyjet gift vouchers (or those from 'Flightgift' if you want a choice of airline)

Easy access savings account.

You may as well get some interest on it, rather than giving it to a corporation for free.

Another recommendation for Monzo, I really like their budgeting and saving tools on their App. Not the best rates on easy access but reasonable enough.

Depending on the saving pot you use you can empty it though, so if you have no self control might be better options.

Didn’t think easyJet did vouchers ? I tried looking.

Not checked but I know you can get vouchers through third party sites like love2shop etc - might need to look around to avoid any admin/delivery charges

No need to apologise for that!

You can stuff it my bank if you like....................I wont give it back........................hope that helps!

 

[juliant]

I would stick it in a savings account . If you buy vouchers with an airline or travel company these days you never know what might happen ....
