Well I have just had a phone call from Hays and they were so apologetic as apparently the prices are showing on there system for Thomas cook,airtours and sunset but they can't cost them as it's not allowing them to :que ,but she said that as it is showing up on there system that it must be anyday that they can price it for me,I explained that the other lady told me she could price them up and she said that it's because prices are showing but they can't cost them up as a package or seperately.

She also stated that Thomson and first choice are not showing prices online and they would be out 02/07

My daughter on passing a First Choice shop this morning went in asked about a holiday to Majorca Holiday Village Viva May 2010 just to get an update on the proposed June release and she was told nothing being released until the end of June beginning of July now.

Surely people can still save towards their holidays if the brochures have been printed or not.

I dont see how it affects peoples ability to save for something a year hence (provided they are lucky enough to be in a position to save). :scratch:
A branch of Co-op travel said August yesterday, but I think they tell people anything.

People need to cost the holiday and then cost for spends, therefore they know an average monthly budget that they need to set up a direct debit for.

I have been told by direct holidays 25th June in line with other tour ops, its so they all go on sale at the time and nobody has a advantage. I have said before they working together when to release 2010 and it makes you wonder what else they are agreeing to regarding pricing, have different prices for hotels but together raise the prices by 10% or 20% together. The way holiday prices have risen it does make you wonder if they are working together to fix prices.
