How much does a trip to Austin cost?

On the ground, including accommodation and everyday spending, allow about £55 a day at the budget end, around £110 a day mid-range and £320+ for high-end travel. A seven-night mid-range trip, including estimated return travel from London, is best treated as a planning range of £1090 to £1520 per person. Return travel is modelled at about £390 off-peak, £500 typically and £710 in busy UK travel periods. These are planning estimates rather than live quotes.
