August 2007 - too early for a good deal???

DJChris

Hi

I've been searching for a holiday for August 2007 but am finding that places like lastminute, expedia, travelocity etc don't go that far ahead yet, and the other bargain/direct/tour operator websites are bringing up a minimum of £3200 for 4 adults and 2 children in august, with very little choice. I was hoping to get it cheaper than this - so i'm wondering if i should wait, and if so, how long?!

I did post a breakdown in travelmans thread but didn't get any response as yet.

Any thoughts gratefully received!

Cheers

Chris

Chris I would leave it at least until the summer flights by the budgets are out (around NOV/DEC) most hotel sites dont even have a full listing yet and packages are going to be expensive

Thanks, i thought as much, although the 2 high street agents said i should definately book now as free kids places and availability will go very soon...

travel agents would say they and as TravelMan said free child places are a myth..TA's want you to book ASAP because they know if you walk out the door your less likely to return.

Thanks savapenny - so WHEN should i be looking to book, and will i get a holiday for £2000 for 4 adults & 2 children mid-late august next year (any beach destination)? Chris.
