It's terrible almost wishing the days away. We have yet to go on this years (2011) to Turkey in late July and am hoping to get an early deal at a Holiday Village for 2012 in the School Summer Hols with a free child place. He will be 13. Not sure if they do them for that age. Anyway, researching all those places to go is almost here again.

The wait is killing me too!! I want to book for Cyprus and have narrowed down to a choice of 2 in paphos or 2 in ayia napa for August 2012 with the kids. I am just counting each hour off!! I can't view Thomas Cook for 2012 either.

Thomas Cook holidays go on sale on Thursday according to the stores systems today.

I just popped in to change the hotel that I would like pricing from them and needless to say that with their totally unhelpful attitude I will now be doing what I normally do and will just book it myself online.

The best laugh is I only went in last week to pick up a brochure and it was them who approached me wanting to price the holiday for me!

Just got home and A direct holidays brochure for summer 2012 was on my mat :) , so im going to trawl through that to get a rough idea on prices

my direct holidays brochure was on my mat as well :cheers Ive looked online and i couldn't price a holiday though :cry it didnt state in the letter when holidays went on sale so i just assumed as i had received the brochure i could price a holiday up :think

I have been told by both Thompson and FC that holidaus are available from Thursday in store but won't be loaded on the web on that day.

We left it way too late to book this year as school holiday novices but are hoping to at least get a better deal if not a free place to ideally Skopelos

A nice selling technique there - come to the shop because they wont be available online when clearly they will

I hope so as I have no intention of booking in a shop.

To be honest I didnt think to doubt what they were telling me but will check on line on Thursday and see...I guess they could well be up there

I think but i could be wrong every other summer launch has been online on a Thursday about 10am so i suppose the first hour could be correct as having to go to the shop.

If I had to go to the shop, I would want the following, basicly price matching

8% of holiday: works discount
7% online discount
£100 discount code
