Default HOLIDAYS Booked earlier and earlier

Now I know I am an old git [42] but I remember when you used to book holidays just after the New Year Sales

But now We have just got back from 2 weeks in Tsilivi,Zante

and yes we have booked next years Holiday, after lots of research and playing everybody off each other, with a sizable discount on the brouchure price

I have 2 kids so I want to go where I want to not to wheres left BUT DOES ANYBODY ELSE BOOK THIS EARLY

No, Im supposed to be going on the 13th of September '07. I'll probably book about the 10th.

Only time Ive ever booked early is when there is a specific destination you want to go.

Blimey that is LATE

is that just for you ?

Do you really get good deals ?

I saved just under £500 on a £2,500 holiday by haggling and booking early

I couldn't book the hotel direct for the price I am paying and it includes flights

I'm on holiday from Saturday 8th Sept.

Still haven't booked anything In fact I deliberately left it late to get some of these fantastic "late deals" I keep hearing about....so far there isn't anything that seems to be partcularly cheap that matches our dates.

Put it this way, If I pay more than £150 per person I think its expensive And generally stay in a 3* minimum and try my best for half board type deals.

should be 2 of us going but since fell out with her in doors again so think I might either go on my own or save the dollar for my travelling in 2 months time

Nothing cheap going this year although typically Ive see a couple of stuff on the 8th of sept but its too early for me

If your not tied to dates or destinations you can get some cracking deals

These days booking late just seems to get you cattle hurded into whatever is left over.
I am able to book in advance cos I know the house im staying in, the car im driving etc lol, but the snowboarding trip for this year will be a little later booked.
