    October half term ( Oct 28th ) is included in this promo ...

    ah are you talking about Daily Mail ( so confusing,there's a sep thread for those lol ! )

    I said this on the other thread, but can we please keep the sun threads for discussing the SUN holidays please. The clue is in the thread title;)
    It's confusing and unnessecary. There's usually sepertate threads about the DM hols, but if there's not then people who want to talk about them can create one!

    Hi.

    Being cheeky, but does anyone have a priority code they're not using or where can I get one? OH & I really need a few days away on the cheap. More for respite if nothing else and change of scenery between hospital treatments.

    Thanks

    There's a very long list. I doubt you'll have any chance of one. Why dont you collect the paper tokens and send them off. That's what we all had to do initially. You may well get a code next time then.
    Or if you're really desperate, you could buy one off ebay.

    Or why not book a Daily Mail break - they're almost similar holidays and prices and you don't need a priority code. just the 7 listed code words...

    officially the site opens sunday but people will be on this site waiting for the website to open (usually before its meant to officially) and as soon as it is, then everyone tries to guess the last codeword (before it is printed on sunday)

  • I've been going on Sun Holidays for 7 years now and using the website for 3 years.

    For the first time we are going to France but i am worried about the ferry prices. The paper says FROM £100. I am going to book the school holidays from the 27th May and I am worried I will book it and then go to the Ferry Promotions and find out its £400 for the sailing time I want.

    Has anyone been during the spring bank break before by ferry that can give me an idea of cost. If i book direct it is £400.

    Thanks

    You book both together at the same time so you will know the total cost when you book on the Sun website.
