    Hi Sweetmelody

    Its impossible to predict but as a lot of schools are off that week i'd predict it will keep hoing up - school dates tend to go up last minute - term dates tend to go down - thats a general guide - if prices always fell and fell we'd all book the day before we went - thats not how it works now

    Also Virgin are the cheapest for that hotel those dates and are direct sell only - i'd suggest either scrap the trip or book at current price and look for cashback offers

    Sorry its not great but thats honest advice that doesnt earn me a penny

  • Am very grateful, Mattr5. Any advice on cash back sites/offers as never used before?

    No problem

    Ive had a quick look and tbh theres only 0.5% cashback on offer as not a late deal so probably not worth it

    Hi Polka

    I cant beat that sorry
  • I had a quick quote with a travel agency and they are asking £3000 for only 3 nights with all inclusive. Is it fare?
    I traveled to 87 countries and wish to visit more. Ask me anything about my holiday experience on 365pricefinder.
