We need to talk about the inherent Classism in holiday prices going up during the school holidays whilst Private schools have different term dates. The families who use Private schools get to take advantage of cheaper flights outside of the main holiday window.

It’s also another way of criminalising people made poor, who might be using State school, by enforcing that they cannot take their children out of holidays during term times. Yet again it’s easier for the rich to stay rich.

Getting to go on a holiday is such a luxury & it’s a given you’re in the top percentiles of wealth globally if family holidays are your reality anyway However, for those on the fringes, it becomes even less of a possibility, especially with how expensive staycations are.
