💷 When is the upgrade actually worth it?
When you’re planning a holiday, there’s almost always an opportunity to spend a little more
A better room category. Premium economy. A private transfer. Half board instead of breakfast. The list goes on
But does spending more always mean having a better holiday? Not necessarily
We might recommend paying extra for a sea-view room if waking up to that view will genuinely be part of the experience, but tell you to stick with the standard room on a city break where you’ll barely be inside it
Premium economy might feel worth every penny on a long overnight flight, but far less important on a short hop across Europe
And a private transfer after 12 hours of travelling might be money very well spent, while upgrading to all-inclusive could make little sense if you’re staying somewhere surrounded by fantastic local bars and restaurants
That’s why we don’t believe in upgrading for the sake of upgrading
Good travel planning isn’t about spending as much as possible. It’s about knowing where spending a little more will genuinely improve your experience, and where your money is better kept in your pocket
When we plan your holiday, we’ll help you work out where your budget will make the biggest difference
