    The cost of going through the Sun would be £114 and £147 for full occupancy it depends on what size family you have but do have a look as those are normal prices and will get reduced even more nearer the time.
    Sorry but how do you arrive at these figures?

    OK, the entertainment passes are more at your chose resort than at mine. I would book through Haven if thats cheaper for you.

    Unfortunately it's not as simple as that. They send out two types of priority booking.

    The first one (which I got last time) gives you a reference number which allows you to book online once you have all the passwords. So no tokens to collect, no posting and no waiting to see which choice you get granted as you book your choice and pay online immediately.

    The other (which I got this time) has nothing for online booking but just allows you to send off with 1 less token - thereby getting yours there quicker than newspaper applications.

    The last time the offer was on (April) there was a large thread with discussions about the priority online bookings and some MSEers called up and asked. They were told it was only selected customers, they could not be granted one as loyal customers, but that it'd be different customers selected next time so they might be lucky. I got it last time so suspected I wouldn't this time, and was right (unfortunately!). :rolleyes:

    I didn't get a priority booking last time and didn't get my holiday to Holland.I rang them last time to see who get's them etc..That might be why I got one this time?? Who knows..I can't complain though as when we missed out on Holland I collected them again and we have just got back fro a weekend in Paris..
