Price of Holidays

May be its because i'm old but I do seem to remember that when the pound was weak against the dollar tour companies charged extra on top of the holiday to cover for the cost of fuel (being priced in dollars) Over the last few months the dollar has fallen by nearly 30 % against the pound. Has anyone heard of Thomson or Nielsons, Crystal or any companies giving reduction? Confused

Cass,

You could argue that the airlines/holiday companies are spending more on increased security now???

cass, the charge for security is very minimal and that I understand goes mostly to our 'effective' Government

I agree, I have no problem with the value for money of bulgariian resorts but this money is going striaght into the coffers of the big tour companies, and i bet they wont pass it on to the local people.

Cass I have booked with Balkan Holidays - not one of the big four. At the end of the day companies operate to make profit so it is justifiable that profit will be made

Hi Cass,
I've just booked for next year with Inghams (early- Bird Brou) and saved £50 per person, and only £45 deposit required until they release their new brou.
Very Happy

re: Price of Holidays

Balken holidays have changed their flight times this season which means you don't arrive into Sofia until 00.50!!!!! They didn't give us much warning either and then it was too later to change tour operators they were all full!!!!
Lets hope there are some boots left when we finally get up on Sunday!!!!
