    Well...prices usually go up as time goes buy. Less availabilty usually means they up the price. I surely notice that with airfare heh.
    Glad I booked my flights in Dec. for my trip in May (to US) :D

    I booked a package holiday to Turkey on Monday and I keep (well, once a day) checking the website out to see if it's gone up or down (or even sold out) since I booked.
    No change so far.

    If the price goes up, I'm not going to gloat or pat myself on the back for being 'so smart'.
    If it goes down, I'm not going to come on here and ask if I can get the difference in price back.
    I was happy with the price I paid - otherwise I wouldn't have booked it.
    I checked out other T/Os and decided it WAS a good deal.
    I checked out the hotel and thought the reviews were OK.
    Great daytime flights - sometimes hard to get from Turkey.
    I'm happy that I can now sit back and look forward to my holiday.
    I'd have been gutted if I'd left it and then it HAD gone up in price or even been sold out (it's a small hotel with only 25 rooms).

    So - why do I do it? :confused:

    ...because I'm bloody nosy, that's why. :rolleyes:

    And maybe because I'm stuck in the house as we've got builders in at the moment.

    Where are you going to in turkey?? we are staying in the serin hotel for the summer hols

    Was in Usa in 2007 and American Guy was bragging his room was more expensive than ours after we worked out the exchange rate (he enjoyed it that he paid more ):idea: was on the same floor with about the same view:idea: :confused:
