Lucky Trip, upmarket
A hand-picked escape, in your inbox before you’ve had coffee.
Real events. Real places. Real prices. A few mornings a week it surprises you with somewhere genuinely worth going — from wherever you’re based, your way (fly, train or drive). Pick one, book in ten minutes. No searching, no faff.
01
Set up in a sentence
Tell it who you are — “I’m in Manchester, love food and gigs, hate flying, weekends only” — and it builds your whole profile. Tweak anything after.
02
It finds a real reason to go
Every run it scours the live web for dated reasons to travel now — a festival line-up, a gig, a hike, a dish. Never a generic “city break,” never an event it can’t verify.
03
It lands in your inbox — you book
A few options, costed out your way (fly, train or drive; hotel or not). Tap the links, book in ten minutes. Or read them in your dashboard.
Made to fit your life
Your way there
Fly, train or drive — or no travel at all. Want a hotel? Get a value pick and a nicer one. Don’t? It skips it.
Anywhere, or right here
Short-haul, anywhere genuinely worth going, or just your own country. From whatever airport or city you call home.
“Right now” mode
Say “I’m in Barcelona this week” and it switches to things to do there — then reverts to normal on its own.
On your schedule
Every morning, a few times a week, or only when you ask. Pause anytime. And never Ryanair.
