Hi Twinton

I found that when booking this years holiday, it worked out slightly cheaper for the last 2 weeks of school hols, don't know whether this is always the case as I've always gone in June or Sept in previous years. We go 16th August so back in time for the return to school but as I recall the price was around £100 cheaper overall.

Yes I have noticed that too! Also the very last week (which goes into sep). we have booked this week for a Number of years, always getting back the day before (or night in a couple of cases!), before son starts school!. That week can be a couple of hundred cheaper than the rest of the school hols!

Twinton - No use waiting for Eclipse. They sent me a letter saying they will no longer exist next summer.......... Due to merger with Thomson they said. I imagine they just want everyone to book through First Choice. Shame though as you could usually knock a few pounds off by going through Eclipse website.

I'm not suprised. :( Although I have had many holidays booked with Eclipse, I have noticed for at least the last few months that the prices on the Eclipse web-site and First Choice web-site have been the same, so thought the Eclipse 'brand' would probably go as part of the merger.
