The Sun £9.50 Holidays

HandsInTheRuck

Could someone tell me what the dates are for these?
Are there any in September?

Appears they are for holidays in September, October and November this time- can't seem to find any parks abroad.

Copied from above link:

One of the reasons these hols are so cheap is that you can’t pick the exact date and place. You have to specify FIVE dates and parks you'd like.
The £9.50 hols can be taken on selected dates between September and November 2010. Weekend breaks are three nights and weekday holidays are four nights.

Monday-Friday (4 night breaks) can start: 13, 20, 27 September; 4, 11, 18, 25 October; or 1, 8, 15, 22 November. Friday-Monday (three-night breaks) can start: 17, 24 September; 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 October; or 5, 12, 19, 26 November.

For two, three or four people sharing the basic cost will be £38, five people sharing will cost £47.50, six sharing £57, seven sharing £66.50 and eight sharing £76. Go to the Sun website for a full list of the dates you can choose.

I know that this is a real long shot and people probably get fed up of everyone asking but if anyone has a priority code that they are not going to use please could you bear me in mind? We nearly always get one and it's our main holiday, but ours hasn't come through the post yet so I thought I would ring them and was told I've "not been successful this time" and with a new baby too it's just typical, sods law eh!? Thanks.

I have never booked a holiday through the Sun newspaper. What difference does it make if you have a priority code? I would love to book a break for me, my son and my friend and her son to cheer them up. I have read that you are not guarenteed the dates you choose so I am a bit worried if it clashes with the school days, hopefully not. If the priority codes makes a difference and someone has a spare code, I would much appreciated it if i could have one too, I know lot's of people have asked,so it would be real nice of someone who won'tt be using the code if we can have one too, if not thanks anyway.

My brother has just come back from a Sun holiday to Pontins (Brean) and hated every moment of it, decor was 70's/80's everything was insanely expensive, and full off chav type couples that let their kids do whatever they wanted while they drank in the bar, there was also nothing for their youngest to do more geared towards kids of 6 and over.

Trouble is, you'd get that at Pontins even if you hadn't booked with the Sun. If you don't like nasty holidays, best avoid Pontins, as that's all they offer.

The Sun do offer other sites other than Pontins though. The best thing to do is to have a look at what sites you'd be interested in and then take a look on Trip Advisor for the warts and all reviews. It usually gives you a pretty realistic picture.

If you have a priority code you can book earlier - and are more likely to get your choice of dates and parks.

If you've never booked one before, you will have to save the vouchers in the Sun newspaper. It's a bit of a chore finding five parks and five dates, you then get what you are given - but it's worth the hassle because then you will be offered priority codes from then on (hopefully).

If you put in an application that only specifies one or two dates and one or two parks are you less favourably looked on? I want to try and go to Eurodi$ney during half term and wouldn't drag my DD out of school for a holiday like that.

I guess I won't be devastated if I don't get the booking but wondered if by not putting down the right number of choices, that'll mean I'll have my application taken out of the pile.

Were from the east mids, really wud of like carnwall but its quite far ot go for a 4 night stay isnt it?

Any ideas welcome, love skegness but fancy something different

not received a priority booking form this time either - that's the past 3 we've not had one even though we've been going once or twice a year for over 10 years.

If anyone has a spare priority code going I would be very grateful. thanks.
