Any Newspaper Cheap Hols Ever In School Hols??

dlpugh

Hiya
I've been buying the Mail this week looking at their cheap holiday offer but it stops just before the school holidays.
Do any of the newspaper offers ever cover the school holidays if we wait? Or is our only option to do the final weekend of the Mail offer and book the 3 night weekend taking the kids out for last day of term?
We've never done any of these paper offers before so I've no idea how often they come along and if they do ever cover the school holiday period.....
Many thanks!

I struck lucky this year and the final week of The Sun offer coincided with the 1st week of our summer hols. We have a week in France with Key Camp for £310 including the ferry. I live in Leicestershire and our school holidays always seem to be a bit different to the rest of the country. The Sun offer definately covered half terms though, but reading on the forums it seems it can be very difficult to get what you want.

i have boooked Easter holidays, june half term, and october half term with newspaper deals....

but sometimes have to take kids out of school on either the friday or the monday...

i have also last year booked very end of august / first days of sept deal and come home on monday --- kids back to school tuesday...


so you can get school holidays but only either half terms or the very first of last weekends of the summer holidays - unless your school has unusual holidays.... My SIL kids had their easter holidays 2 weeks later than mine last year so she got a great deal by booking direct with Haven

edited I to add the dates in the offer at the moment are the same dates as the previous offer so i woulld not hold out much hope of booking july 20th weekend at a popular site.... i tried to book through the sun for that date and struggled to find a Haven site in travelling distance.....

but i did not look at other brands like park resorts etc so cant comment on the availability at those...
