Have Thomsons found a new trick?

[Jules]

If you look on Thomsons website for next years hols they give you a choice of 2 flight times for your return journey on some of the holidays. One flight goes over to day 15 and the holiday price for 2 weeks is over £1100 per person. What are they up to.

They usually try to "price-reserve" the most popular flight, they also know that San Stefanos is pretty unique, with so many return visitors.
I noticed before that they over-price to start (testing the water), and if anyone books it's a bonus for Thomsons.
Come the run up to Xmas and New Year, if not many "bites", then they drop the price with special reductions etc
We've seen it all before, this and many other sales ploys to maximise their greedy profits....

spot on tony

[Jules]

Never seen them do this before though

It is sometimes Friday-Monday or Monday to Friday. Never seen a 1 day gap so far.

I think Jules means landing in the UK after midnight, unless they have changed the strategy

[Jimbo]

You could be right, Tony.

[tonyco1]

Easyjet also do this and B A.....

They start back from Corfu in the early hours of day 15. For instance my flight back is say 19.30pm on day 14 but attached to the same holiday is a flight leaving at say 2am ish the next day as well

Exactly.....
