Thomson 2014 holidays on sale

(1/2) > >>

Bristle Boy:
Had an email earlier from Thomson informing 2014 Summer on sale.
Took a look for San Stef, as we are thinking of returning in 2014 after a 4 year absence.
But, expensive or what!
Over £500/person for a week in mid-June, flying out of B'ham on a Monday morning.
Anyone think the 2014 prices will drop?

Jules:
Been looking today and prices are nearly £200.00 up for us on this years prices. Someone else we know there price is up almost £200.00 per person. Normally the first days of prices going out are the cheapest. We are not sure what to do so may just wait and see.

dibully:
We booked early last year the price never came back down to what we paid also booked for my Daughter's family to go to Crete the day after we booked again wasn't sure if it would get cheaper but the day after price went up and it's just gone up and up ever since they go in August it's now £400 more than they paid in May last year. Our same two weeks at the Nafsica this year are over £200 more next year don't think that's down to Speros

Bristle Boy:
Being in finance and analysing markets the fact that the prices are much higher for 2014 tells me Thomson and the like have come out of any recession that there was in the travel industry in last few years.
The higher prices ties in with a much leaner company whose shares are viewed as a 'buy' by the analysts. Along with Easyjet who have also raised prices in last 12 months tells me the 'bargain' prices of the last few years may have 'flown'.

Should've added that i realise if u can be really flexible on days and times of flying, esp from gatwick, then i guess one might get a cheaper flight.

BAJ:
Just checked for next year and the same two weeks in 2014 for the four of us is £450 more than we paid for this July.
We didnt book this years until October when the price had dropped by several hundred pounds from what it had been over the summer.
I will be price watching, and wont book unless it drops to somewhere around the levels we have paid for the last four years.
My advice is buy when you are happy with the price, wait too long and you may regret it.
