    am i right in thinking you can't book these holidays online without the priority code? as we have never been on one of these before but would like to give it a go.

    Thats right. You would need to save the tokens in the paper, and send away. You take pot luck, as you are supposed to choose 5 dates and 5 parks.

    You could buy a priority code on ebay. It makes it a bit more expensive but if you are restricted by school holidays, or need a particular site or date, it might be worth it. I paid 20 pounds for a code last time, but I got a 4 night break at the park I wanted in the summer holidays, so it was a bargain.

    I just paid 18 pounds this time. Hopefully I will get Stanwix park in October. Haven't any leave to spare, so want to stay local so I can just come back late on Sunday and back to work on Monday.

    Could I be added to the list for codes please if there is one!

    I have booked these lots of times over the past few years but seem to have missed out on a priority code this year. Luck of the draw I guess.:(

    Thanks very much.

    but does buying a code off ebay/getting given one from someone not mean you would have to book in their name/address? Or does it not matter? thanks :)

    They should do :)

    Thomson Alfresco accom is lovely! friends of ours stayed with them when they joined us on our SUN holiday @ La Croix one year

    not sure I would pay £100 more for it though,but if you don't get a SUN holiday,you may kick yourself for not booking ? and it may not be available then?

    guess it depends if you definitely want to go at that time,or are more flexible with dates?

    Thanks. i dont know many people who have been with Thompson, so good to hear good things about it.
    I may hold out for a sun hol though, as even if i dont get a code to book, my friend has told me i can have hers.
    She hasn't been on a holiday for over a year now, but she recieves a code everytime there is a promotion!
    If for some strange reason she doesn't get one next time, i'll have a look on ebay.
    We are a bit flexible about when we can go, but my preferred times are easter or october half term.:)

    Thanks for the codes. :0) This will be my fourth sun holiday and the fourth time I have received a priority code. Does anyone know the dates the holidays are available. If they are not termtime I will not be using the code so it will be up for grabs.
