Travelling across the world doesn't come cheap. Even when airlines have sales, pricey flights still cost an arm and a leg. However, new research has found the most affordable destinations to go to if you're looking to fly further ahead.
Research from Post Office Travel Money in their annual Long Haul Holiday Report analysed local prices of everyday items including a bottle of water, a three-course meal and a beer to determine the results. The team looked at a total of 32 destinations, including Australia for the first time, to find out where Brits can make their money go further on holiday. Laura Plunkett, head of travel money at Post Office, said: “As ever, our research revealed wide variations in the cost of tourist staples across the 32 destinations we surveyed.
"This means holidaymakers could save themselves a lot of money and make a big difference to the overall cost of their winter sun trip by doing some basic holiday homework before booking to find out where meals, drinks and other staples are going to cost the least. “Holiday homework is just one way that holidaymakers can save money. It’s also important to think carefully about how to get the most out of your spending money.
