They rang me today, I'd pre-registered but had sneakily rang them using 0844 number given here - I said I'd already had a quote and it was extortionate so we'd decided to go DIY as there was no way we were paying seriously over inflated prices.
If they've removed them from their websites hopefully they've realised that their prices are too ridiculous for anyone to consider and they'll come back drastically reduced.

Think your right, some details have been removed from airtours web site
Looking for 2 weeks in July 2010, in Cattolica, but all I could find was Hotel Hiltonm sorrento at £1050 for 2 weeks, it now seems to be reomoved from the web site ?????
they've taken all holidays off the website until Thursday (official launch date)
I'm on the phone with DH now (pre-registered) and the hotel I want to go to is not on their system yet...so I'm not getting to pre-book mine obviously!! Have to say if you're going to do a pre-sale you should offer everybody the same!!
Oh now she's telling me its not on the system therefore it won't be coming on the system so DH aren't doing that holiday anymore!!!! Livid!!!!!

Chris...if you get a brochure, will you look in it and tell me if the Hotel Playabonita in Costa Del Sol is in it? Because TC on the phone won't tell me and DH are saying its not on their system, and I'm near tears here haha!
Leanne - sorry I only got the Turkey and Tropical Shores brochures. If only I'd seen your post before I went! Try ringing a local branch to see if they'll tell you. Don't see why they can't! Siany on TA has all the brochures as well - you could ask her. Here's the link.

I am well jealous of the people getting their hands on the brochures.

Thanks Chris, I nipped to local TC store to see if they'd give me one! Won't let it out of their grip until Thursday (they've been told they're not allowed?!) DH shouldn't be selling holidays on phone because they've not got everything on the system, hence the extortionate prices, there are no discounts on the system yet!!! TC advisor checked brochure and the holiday I want is in there, phew! £539 per adult for a week, 4* hotel half board, before any discounts are taken off, so should be pretty much same price as last year for me! Just need to wait on Thursday and see what the definate price is!
Can I also just add it has been confirmed by TC that brochures WILL be available from Thursday 25th June as all stores now have their supplies!
I;'ve ran round the town centre today to see if I can get my hands on a brochure, it was like tryin to get blood out of a stone, even my mate at Dawsons won't let me have one. 
Just gonna have to send hubby up early on Thursday morning......he'll probably have to join or form a queue me thinks! Hopefully Turkey won't be out of our price range.

Guess I was extra lucky then. Not sure how the prices compare as I have always done long-haul in the summer. I'm useless at trying to work out prices in the brochure, much prefer the online method, but happy to help if anyone has any particular query. Obviously, the discounts haven't been applied - will be interesting to see what they are!
Chris, can you price up an AI hotel in Turkey (side, gumbet or bodrum) just to give us an idea please on prices, two adults and 1 child aged 11. Many thanks,

The prices look steep compared to early last season but the on line price will be lower and I alfind whe the holidays first go sell the brochure is always more expensive.
Yes, I agree. I will let the prices settle before making a decision. Limak Lara is looking good for me because child prices are til 14. Base price for that one is £1345 and £229 for a child.
Sorry should have given dates, last week in may first in june. Prices do look rather steep!
Voyage Bodrum is £879 (27-31 May) or £869 per adult (1-30 June). No child price listed.
Kervansary same dates is £805 and £799. Child price £249. 14 nights.
Alba Queen in Colakli £829 and £809. Child price £239.
Hope that helps.
