    I'm desperate to get a break for myself, wife and 2 wee ones (4&2) anywhere in Scotland and this is the only way we could afford a break this summer.

    I am looking at buying a priority code from EBay and wondered if it was just a straightforward case of substituting my details for the seller's or whether it is better protected by the paper than that?

    Thanks very much to those who have posted it as we but a regional paper and wouldn't have known about this otherwise. My good lady is cutting the tokens out but it would be nice to be able to book online and try and get the date/site of choice.

    Thanks :beer:

    I did this earlier in the year and it worked no probs. Ended up paying about £25 for it, but as there was a big group of us going and all booking separately I didn't want to risk not getting the same place. Had no probs at all. It was worth paying the extra - had a fab wkend and since then have had a priority code both times the sun have done the offer.

    have got my priorty booking form and we intend on taking a hol april march next year i have 2 questions

    1, how does online booking work

    2, how do i go about making a booking including my unborn baby, due this oct (the reason we have decided against an autumn break) will so will be 5/6 months old by april march

    you go to www.ukholidaysinthesun.co.uk

    input ref code,email address and the 8 code words

    then you choose dates and parks and it will tell you if your choices are available ( may need to rejig dates and parks,it's not very user friendly IMO !)

    Just leave the baby off the booking,he/she will be a travel cot anyway and you won't / don't pay for any passes etc for babies

    we have been to France twice, and going again in Oct
    they work the same as the UK ones!

    we arrange our own travel ( eurotunnel,with tesco deals)

    If you have a priority ref form / code you can book either a sept,Oct,Nov break,a March,April one or end Aug

    if you have to do the tokens & postal method, you can only book a sept-Nov break

    Rachie B,

    I remember you guessing the last word, last time I booked, and being the first to tell us that the booking site was open. I hope you still join in this time :hello:

    We had to pay the £9.50 for our baby, he was only 12 weeks old when we went away, but the form said to include infants.
