2013 holiday advice

Hi

We are thinking of going abroad to either corfu or spain next year. Having looked on thomson, there are some dates with free child places but they appear more expensive than other dates without free child places. Is this normal practice?

    best to look at the total price rather than focus on free child places. You will usually pay more supplements when there are free child places

  • Had a sneaky feeling that was the case. Will start having a good look around.

  • When you get a free child place on a package holiday you'll always pay higher supplements than not having a free child place. Always best to search for both options. Also try pricing the holiday with everyone paying a adult price as you will sometimes get a full occupancy discount. This all depends upon how many people are going!

    Always best to try searching all ways, it could pay off!
