Poster: A snowHead

Booked my next holiday with Mark Warner on Tuesday because I thought that it was a good deal, looked at their last minute deals today, and the price has gone up by £100pp. Woo hoo!

Kramer same thing happened to us. We booked with Crystal three weeks before - a week later it had gone up £50pp. I reckon three/four weeks before is about the best time to book. They know people are willing to pay at the last minute and so bump up prices !

OTOH is they don't sell them at the last minute then they don't get sold, and so show up as a lower bottom line. I reckon it depends on the rest of the market at the time.
It's the first time I've seen it happen, not that I'm complaining.

DavidS, I'd pay for an option - a small premium vs. the ability not to exercise your option if the snows no good.
