You can save £3000 by only spending £500/750 for your annual holiday.
£500 per person is very near the absolute minimum ticket price to one of the cheapest US destinations (somewhere in Florida), unless you’re willing to put up with some long layovers in unpleasant places. And it’s not really a family holiday if only one person goes. At £500 each for four people, you’re already at £2k, even before taking into account accommodation, food and walking-around money.
Of course, you can save even more by not going there. There are plenty of non-shitty destinations in Europe and North Africa that are far cheaper than Florida in terms of airfare, lodging and cost of dining out. Anyway, Florida’s horribly humid, a tourist trap, and dominated by right-wing religious fanatics and con artists.
Flights to the US can be £1000+ when you hit summer holidays, and £250 for leaving a week before.
