A winter vacation package that claimed it could save Brits more than £200 ($229) on their soaring bills for rent, food and fuel sold out within 24 hours

EasyJet\n \n holidays, owned by low-cost British airline EasyJet\n \n , launched its 28-day “Escape the UK” vacation package to Hurghada, Egypt, on Monday, pitching it to consumers who work remotely. The company said Tuesday it had sold out but did not say how many travelers had booked onto the trip.

3 — the average number of people per household — monthly costs amount to £837 per person, nearly £190 more expensive than EasyJet holiday’s package vacation. The cost of rent, food and energy has only skyrocketed since March 2021, plunging millions of households into the worst cost-of-living crisis in decades. Last month, consumer price inflation soared back to its July level of 10.1%, its highest rate in 40 years.
