Thomson holidays prices

aj9648

Hello

I wonder if someone more educated than me can help me with this

I was looking to book a holiday to morocco over Easter. Last week the holiday was 600 pp. few hours later when I went to book it shot up to 800pp !!!

How are the prices managed? When is the best time to book? Is there any chance of getting a last minute deal with a Thomson all inclusive holiday?

I have kids now so I can't be flexible on dates anymore - damn you kids!!

Supply and demand. Particularly around flight loans.

When is the best time to book?

Earlier last week.

Yes. But don't count on it. First choice is also a TUI company. They might sell the identical holiday at a different price.

Grandparents. Get them over for a week while the adults go on holiday during term time!

Skyscanner (UK to Everywhere) and somewhere like Alpharooms might throw out an unexpected DIY bargain,

Booked our Thomsons holiday on the Thursday, couple of days later it was up £800 (family of 5). Watched it until it sold out. It did drop a couple of hundred again, but never seen it as cheap as we paid. We booked around 4weeks before travel.

On the First Choice/Thomsons point, after booking, all the paperwork was First Choice, so it looks like they are both just advertising the holidays.

That's not to say one wasn't cheaper than the other, perhaps try deleting cookies and search on both sites, just in case.

On the school front, our 3 are still at primary school, with good attendance, so we're away just now. They'll only miss the wind down to easter holidays anyway.

Before revisiting a website that you're thinking of chucking money at, delete your cookies.

Try looking at odd times too such as late at night. Holiday pricing can vary immensely depending on multiple factors.

As was said earlier clear all your cookies so it doesn't look like you are seriously looking.

They only do 2 flights per week so not much choice. Cookies always cleared and using private mode on safari

that will be part of the problem...high demand (school holidays) low supply (limited seats available)
good luck with finding something. I am fortunate not to be tied to school holidays any more but it was always frustratingly expensive

If they haven't sold out you might get a last minute bargain but I wouldn't count on it.

Have a look at silly O'clock ( early hours of the morning say 3am), when not many will be browsing , you might be surprised
