    Thanks for this good advice I had not even considered the England travelling. I will be doing a lot of planning tonight.

    no problem, just hope it helps as I prefer to use the extra money on a good breakdown service and emergency fund in such events. My daughter was sick one time and the healthcare was pricey. You have to pay and then claim back on the EHIC.

    Hi
    we've been going for some years now and I always look for the best deal.
    I think it all depends where you live. As I am equidistant from portsmouth and dover, I looked at all the fares on offer , through 'the sun' and direct. I looked at the driving times when across the channel and petrol costs.
    The difference was the portsmouth route was less driving, a longer ferry crossing and longer journey whilst the dover way was short ferry crossing but a much longer drive. I figured I was not going to spend £300 on petrol even we if went up and down twice!!
    In the end I went with P&O for their £29 offer last year as it was cheaper than 'the sun' and had more sail times on offer, and the calculated petrol costs were much cheaper than the portsmouth route .
    We use a late night/early morning crossing so we miss the traffic and can amble along, we arrive at the park early, find a lounger, rest , swim, do our food shopping and book in when it's time so we have a pretty full day !
    That time we went to perros guirec. I never use the toll roads either - we go the pretty way.:)

    Thank you for this information!!! If I remember rightly, you gave some very useful information on France last year too. It helped me decide to try my first foreign Sun Holiday last July. We went to La Croix de Vieux Pont. It was absolutely fantastic!!!

  • Hi all

    I've mailed the sun as I've not got the paperwork for a priority booking.

    They sent me an email back saying they won't re issue it (even though I've not got it in the first place) but I am able to do a priority booking.

    In the mail they said I need a priority code which they typed in as xxxxx/xx - which makes no sense.

    I've mailed them on Tuesday but not got a reply and I'd like to book tomorrow or Sunday.

    Does anyone have a number I can call to speak to a body as the one I found doesn't work.

    TIA

  • That looks like a priority code to me, assuming you've replaced the actual code with X's. What makes you think it's not?

    Post the code words here daily and I will update the opening post each day with the new word. Obviously this is only of use to the Priority bookers who don't need to actually send in the tokens. We require 10 code words in all which we should have by Saturday the 12th if we can crack the last word before the paper comes out.

    1. Bonus code : LAND
    2. Sat Jan 5th : POOL
    3. Sun Jan 6th : YEAR
    4. Mon Jan 7th : WISH
    5. Tue Jan 8th : TALK
    6. Wed Jan 9th : MEAL
    7. Thu Jan 10th : TONE
    8. Fri Jan 11th : HOPE
    9. Sat Jan 12th : ....
    10. Sun Jan 13th : ....

    Will we be cracking code on this thread?? :)
