Direct Holidays Late Deals

I was checking Direct Holidays for a trip to the Algarve and I found if I booked through their Sun Holidays it was £100 CHEAPER than getting the same holiday through their late deals!

The links didn't work but it was for May 21st leaving from Glasgow to the Algarve for 2 people staying in the Oasis Beach Apts Praia Da Luz for 7 nights

    I was just checking and if you check futher down the page on the Sun Holidays the same holiday is there again for £100 dearer.I have already booked this holiday a few weeks ago but I am one of those sad people that can't resit seeing if it would have got cheaper if I had waited.

    I used to do that but not any more,cos its only depressing if you had paid more.

    For some reason that it quite a common thing on Directholidays / My travel website I've booked late deals with them the last couple of years and for some strange reason you can choose to pay £100 or more for exactly the same holiday. As you say the further you scroll down the more expensive it gets but the same hotel usually pops up :confused:
