E:06/02/09 - The Sun £9.50 holidays are back.

Can anyone help with info on the European 7 days offer which is mentioned on the priority booking form. It states that you need to send £19 per person which having just checked the price against my July dates on Eurocamp is an absolute bargain. But what it doesn't say is which day of the week these holidays start. The starting dates for 3 and 4 night hols are listed as being Fridays or Mondays but nothing for 7 days. Anyone know about this please?!

Ferry booking form suggests 7 (8) day return day is on a Friday. That would be outbound thu/fri for friday start then? Btw the july dates are usually 15.00 pn - so 60+60 = £120 before extras (service charge x7 + ferry/air + fuel/transfers + insurance) that's for 7 nights

Is there a 'bonus' code in the news of the world today - there has been in the past?

Can you book the holidays abroad via the online booking site? I'm hoping to grab a bargain holiday to a eurocamp in holland.

Hi
I've not put myself on the list because its so long I doubt I'd get one now, so I will just wait to book with the forms after the tokens have finished.

I've never been on these holidays before so I just wanted to know does it mean that after all the priority bookings have been made there won't be much left for us ordinary bookers?
I'd be grateful for any information off those who are expereinced with these holidays.

Thanks

Please folks bear this in mind ....

Before you send off your payments for this offer, check the Haven brochure prices.

We used the Sun deal once, and it would have been much cheaper to book for a WEEK through Haven, a week of our choosing, with upto 8 people in the caravan including passes and linen etc.

Once you have your tokens, add up the people price, extra passes, ben linen, fuel etc etc.

You could make a huge saving checking the brochure price first.

Ohhh peopel do check this. I have just done it and its true. I have always gone through haven and I usually book one through the sun and the other online. However this year the prices for heaven are more than the sun quotes.... bit have a look at the other operators, like parkdean. I can shave £10 of the sun price for a 4 day break and £5 off a 7 day break. Plus you are saving by not buying the paper/stamps etc etc. Thanks very much meerustar for prompting me to look :A

Yeah I always thought it would be more expensive to get to heaven than a £9.50 sun offer Sorry couldn't resist

:rotfl:

Thanks for letting us know about the prices really though coz I am going to go and check prices now.

I booked for the first time last year: the dates/parks I chose were unavailable but instead of returning my cheque, they sent me a code to book online for some "unusual" dates. I got a two-day weekend one at DevonCliff for the end of August holiday but was waived of any extra (entertainment etc). I think I was then put on the priority list as I got one this year.

We are hoping to go abroad with these token this year - I will have a look at it later today and if I can answer the above questions will post.
Do I need to dash out and buy a NOTW then? xx
