According to recent research from the Mintel British Lifestyles Report (1) , steeper holiday prices may impact on the UK travel sector as its research shows that the cost of budget flights is expected to rise from January.
The Post Office reminds holidaymakers who may be concerned about higher travel prices that by planning on their holiday spend, that they could save on typical holiday costs, particularly by shopping around for the best value travel credit card.
The Post Office suggests that UK holidaymakers prepare for a holiday by making sure they have a good deal on their travel credit card before setting off. For example, the Post Office has removed the standard 2.5% cash advance fee for its customers when they purchase foreign currency using their Post Office travel credit card either online or in branch, which could save travelers a considerable amount from their travel money budgets.
Furthermore, to help holidaymakers keep costs down, the Post Office travel credit card is one of few travel credit cards to offer 0% commission on overseas purchases. The Post Office also offers travel credit card customers 0% on balance transfers for the first 12 months and 0% on new purchases for the first three months. These travel credit card features could help UK holidaymakers to avoid additional charges typically levied by other travel credit card providers, and help holiday spending stretch further for overseas travellers.
