Drinks are definitely more expensive in Amsterdam. I'd say around 100 a day is probably fair enough, £80 a day for food, weed and drink plus sightseeing is probably ok if you're a student.

I couldn't do a long weekend in Amsterdam with mates now for 80 a day, but 5/6 years ago when I was a student easily could have

No, it's not.. Could easily do 100 euros a night, let alone day time eating/sightseeing etc.

Depends if you don't mind actively seeking cheap food and drink?

Try and get another £200 together I reckon would see you OK if you only spend £30 a night here.

If you're spending 100 euros a night in Amsterdam you're doing it wrong, the weed is cheap as fuck and deadly and the same goes for the mdma.

I would say just not being a skinflint would lead you to spending £100-150 a day min.

Anyone used the meet and greet parking service @ Heathrow? £105 for a fortnight compared to £72 for normal or £130 for valet.

Have to go to Miami for 2 weeks, have a weekend in between, so planning to drive somewhere like Key West / Orlando / whatever. Any recommendations?

What are the Canary Islands like these days? Looking for a week away in the sun (> mid-20s during the day ideally) with the wife in mid-October, and don't really want to fly 8+ hrs. Greece another option maybe? Not fussed on Egypt.

Want somewhere that we can relax round a pool during the day, near enough to bars, restaurants etc for lunches and evenings that isn't going to be all boarded up/out of season.

Thanks

Orlando is about a 5 hour drive away. I recommend maybe hitting up a beach town on the east coast or going South.

Cheers… will have a look. Key west is kind of mad expensive when I'm there ($400 a night rooms) so going to scrap that plan.

Is there a way I can see what destinations an airport flys to on certain days? Rather than keep trawling through holiday websites searching for dates etc…

the airport website should do it
