Where do you normally fly from Debra?
I did cover this in another thread before Xmas but Ejet from Bristol are letting Thomas Cook package holidaymakers use some of their flights to southern europe. Inevitably this pushes up prices quite quickly.
And if an airline is flying to a destination only a couple of times/week then obviously demand is high.
You may have noticed in recent days that both Tui (thomson) and Thomas Cook have had favourable comments from analysts in the financial pages of the newspapers.
They've streamlined their business models, greater efficiencies and generally better run businesses that have effectively caught up with the current climate, post global financial crisis.
I think the travel consumer is facing a much tougher travel climate than the last 5 years, where flight bargains especially were commonplace.
The travel industry seems to be emerging from its overcrowded marketplace of a few years ago and is much leaner and fitter.
That's how i see it anyway. Hence, consumer travel bargains are getting harder to find, unless one is almost super flexible on time, date, destination, etc.
Book early seems to be the motto - certainly with flights - on the day Ejet release their flights.
