    Fistchoice are offer £30 per person deposit on some holdiays but mainly winter 09, or summer holidays from £130 P/P or directholiday.co.uk are offer low deposit holidays, just did a random search on them for Costa Del and it was £84 deposit

    Remember that if a company is offering a low cost deposit, in most (if not all) cases in the event of cancellation a full deposit will be payable.

    Just booked for next year earlier today and went to hays travel they wanted £100 per person deposit but, a friend of mine had already told me to ask about a lower deposit. I told them I would definately book right then if I could have a £25 per person deposit and they agreed. They did say the rest of the deposit had to be paid in 60 days I said I could not agree to that and would try elsewhere and low and behold they agreed to the £25 being a full deposit. I know it all comes off the cost of the holiday anyway but, its better in my account than theirs for a few months

    I wish I knew about hayes and Jarvis as they got £100 per person out of me, I now want to cancel my booking and go elsewhere (due to kenya airways being rather useless) but i will lose my £300, well I will know for next time! ;)
