Do Travel companies change their prices at different times of the day?

Hi,

Looking at a last minute deal in the next two weeks with thomas cook, just wondering if the price i have now will be the same tomorrow as i heard that holidays go cheaper during the week.

Anyone have any experience of this??

Regards

I know airlines do.

Not sure about travel companies though.

But generally the closer you get to the travel date the more expensive the price you will pay.

Optimum time to book flights is usually between 6 and 4 weeks prior to travel. But it varies greatly.

The common thing to do is find a price you are happy with - Book it - Then leave it well alone.

If its within 2 weeks of departure you'll already have ticket on departure charge added on, if its outside this then you wont, if you're travelling within 4 days you'll have to pay for inflight meals if its a TC holiday. At the moment TC have either 10% off their hols or free holiday money on a cash passport card if you want to go on hol before the end of october i think this promotion is only available in their shops not on the net. Unfortunately theres no set rules for the prices fluctuating cause sometimes the offers are weekdays and sometimes weekends, but dont keep checking it on the net as you could put the price up if they think theres lots of interest in it. As above if its a good price book it, "he who snoozes loses"
