So the growth of the big companies continues at the expense of smaller independent firms...
but the service goes down....

why am I not surprised?
(I am disappointed though, we have used Thomson for 12 years, and my son even worked for them abroad for 3 years!)

Thomson don't have that facility, which can be a pain as you have to contact them by phone to pay balances, add ons and such like which costs more money!!
On the website there is a facility "to ask a question" or you can email.

Thanks cazB will give them a ring

Thanks Bellybally for the tip about the discount with the £100 off Thomson code--2996.
Yesterday I booked a holiday to Benidorm for next month and got an on-line discount of over £200, then applied this code and got the further discount of £100.
So we have a Two week, Full board holiday for £736 at the Orange hotel.

Can't seem to get the Thomson site to work for me this afternoon. :( Guess it must be a systems problem as Portland wont seem to price up either. Bit daft really as there are probably a few people at home at present with time to spare and they have some kind of a sale on, you would think they would make sure the site was OK. Wont let me do packages, refers me to hotel only and then whatever date/destination I select it says no availablity, tried half a dozen. :(

does anyone know if the £100 web code (2996) works on cruises totalling just under £3000 for march 09?

*update*

Go on to thomson website:-http://www.thomson.co.uk/cruise/cruise.html
New Year Sale. Save a guaranteed £100 per couple on all cruises booked online, there is a clock counting down how long is left on the offer.

It is also worth looking at Quidco and using the link through them for additional moneyback, not just on Thomson holidays but thousands of other items and companies.

what's the chances of the high street thomson travel agent beating the thomson internet price?
Reply
dont think they will beat, but they should match.

Never had any problems getting TA to beat online prices. I go in with printout of offer online and ask them to beat it. They always will, even if it's just free meals or free baggage upgrade. I have done this many, many times with all the major TA including Thomson. They do expect you to book it that day though.
