Hi I always book early but this year the prices for next year won't be available till June or July unless you want to do long haul! Have been told by travel agents that they are waiting to see what the demand is for flights for this year before they release prices and flight availability.

My advice is just to keep checking websites, we want to go to Egypt next year have usually already booked but will post here if I find anyone who has already got their prices up.

thomson have told me that their 2010 prices wont be out till the end of july. But you can book faraway places like mexico, cuba, florida and the maldives now.

I have been looking at First Choice for a holiday in February 2010 to Mexico or Jamaica the pricing is a disgrace,i got the Tropical Shores brochure and the specific holiday was £2455 each i then went on line and the price was £2551 ok only £6 more BUT the on line price advised i had received £245 discount when actually it had INCREASED by £6.I rang First Choice and complained and was told the brochure price was a guide only but they could not advise why the price had increased by 10% in a matter of a few weeks since the brochure was printed.They were not prepared to negotiate for a holiday for 4 people at a cost of approx £9500,they must be confident that the holidays will sell.

Popped into Thomas Cook at the weekend and asked when next years holidays will be available and they said 30th June, not too long to wait now:T

Is it worth you having a look and posting on this thread http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=509598&page=196 There are online travel agents who will try and beat your quote?
