    word of warning make sure you take into account all the extra that get added on.

    IE
    One holiday on there now is at £220 for 4*BB to Cyprus for 2 ther is a booking fee on top of £20pp note that transfers, in flight meals are not inc so if you want them its another
    £15pp transfers an £12pp meals
    total now is £314. Its still cheap but just bear it in mind when bidding

    Same holiday booking via Thomsons hotel section is £396 and there is still 6 days left
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel

    Thomsonauctions only seem to do 7 days holidays mostly European destinations. Not any good for us as we want to go for 14 days to a long haul tropical destination in mid-January. But thanks for the post anyway; knowing this comes in handy for short short-haul holidays. We are still looking for a last minute deal to the sun. Kenya is cheap right now, but I think we'll pass on that one!

    I cant believe they are still selling Kenya http://www.travelmole.com/stories/1125195.php?mpnlog=1&m_id=nmvbT_~A
