Planning estimates
A £2,500 total booking budget gives two adults a broader seven-night shortlist from London, including more warm-weather, island and resort possibilities alongside lower-cost city options.
Total booking budget
The estimate covers return travel, normal baggage, required transfers and seven nights of accommodation for two adults, including the shown board basis where applicable.
It is the total for the whole party, not a per-person allowance. Spending money, activities, shopping and meals outside the selected board basis are not included.

A value-led island option where the planning range leaves two adults room to compare a beach base with city-led alternatives.
Budget trade-offs
Compared with holidays for two under £2,000, this tier brings more island and resort options into the supported shortlist and gives greater room to choose dates or board basis.
It is still a defined ceiling rather than an invitation to spend it all. The £3,000 tier remains more suitable when long-haul reach or a wider accommodation choice is the priority.
Practical planning
Keep the month flexible where possible and compare departure airports before fixing the destination. The model uses suitable travel windows, but school holidays and peak dates can still move real prices outside the range.
Accommodation standard and board basis can change the total materially. Personalise those details rather than assuming the lowest displayed range will be available for every date.

Use the £2,000 page to see which options survive a tighter ceiling, or the £1,500 shortlist when spending less is the priority. Compare the £3,000 page for two if more destination reach matters.
The current shortlist includes Tenerife and Agadir. Use the destination-first guides for Tenerife or Agadir when one of them becomes the fixed choice rather than one option among many.
