Anyone booked for Summer 2011?

Well after the excitement of next year's holiday prices being released I have been checking prices on Thomas Cook's website daily in the hope that they might drop a bit (well a lot really). I know the exact apartments that I want and have done since returning from them in August last year but at the moment they are about £500 more than we paid in 2009.

Was just wondering if anyone has managed to find a price that they are happy with yet?

no

We are going to have to change our holiday to the Maldives for this year and I was hoping to just move it over to next year however the price has risen by over £1500 for the same holiday :yikes

So nothing booked so far but I will have to find something as I dont want to loose my £550 deposit.

Re: Anyone booked for Summer 2011?

I think the prices for next year are quite reasonable. They want the same for Next Easter as I paid this Easter. I've also seen a few good prices for Turkey and Corfu for next August. TBH, I've been very tempted to book 2 weeks in corfu for next August but I'm aprehensive about the way the pound/euro will go. I think I'll wait to hear what people who are visiting Corfu this year have to say about prices of eating ad drinking.

Shirley- im going to corfu in 7 weeks- so will let you know when I come back- Im wondering the exact same thing. Went last october- and it was dirt cheap (think that may have been a lot to do with the season coming to an end)- will be interesting to see how the prices compare to then.

Sorry to go :offtop

Thanks Belly bally, we were in Corfu for the first week of the season 4 yesrs ago and it wasn't dirt cheap then. we commented how much the prices had risen in the Greek islands. However, everywhere we've been since has been the same so I'm not expecting it to be cheap. Just hoping it won't be extortionate. Thanks, I look forward to hearing about the cost when you return. Have a great holiday!

We booked our holiday to Kos about 2 weeks ago for next May & i have to say i was happy with the price we got from Thomson, i've been checking Thomas Cook also & i don't know if it's just me but i find they are a LOT more expensive than Thomson this year.

I also found Thomas Cook to be more expensive than First Choice this year, I've been looking at Cuba in Jan 2010 but might book it little bit nearer.

It's not the initial cost of the holiday that's putting me off, it's the cost of living once we get there

Yes I have just booked two weeks in Marmaris for July 2011 with Thomas Cook.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but the last two years I have found Thomsons and in particular First choices prices to be absolutely ridiculous, I do travel peak season though so maybe that makes a difference :que

Re: Anyone booked for Summer 2011?

I never book a holiday that far in advance. We always get late deals, which leaves us with more 'spends'.
We have just booked a 2 week self catering holiday in Ovacik Turkey for just £210 each, going on 11 September.
The same holiday was £345 just a month ago. :tup

Re: Anyone booked for Summer 2011?

We have always booked Ibiza through Portland and this year we paid around £600 each for 2 weeks half-board with sea view. This was around the same price as 2009. However, Portland are winding up and Thomson are charging around £750 for the same 2 weeks next year!!! Do I get the feeling that Thomson are just ripping us off by getting rid of Portland? Trouble is, Thomson have sole use of the hotel that I love! I'll wait anyway to see if things improve price-wise.
