Poster: A snowHead

Has anyone found ANY free child places this year? Got one last year with Thomson/Crystal who still claim to have them. Any tips on how to find these?
Looking forward to new season already!!!

Lorenzo, a long time since I looked for them, but I only managed to get one once.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

oh, and most of the time, they were a con, as by the time you paid the underoccupancy and flight supplements, you hadn't got a free place at all.
The best and most transparent deal was a villa holiday which gave a genuinely free child place , and gave a reduced price for the second child. The second child counted towards the occupancy of the villa.

I got a free child place out of Esprit for La Ros next year but they were trying to do me for an empty bed which they haven't done before....

Lorenzo, As Helen Beaumont, says, most 'free child places' are nothing of the kind, by the time you pay (in particular...) the underoccupancy charges. You may be better to organise something DIY - many catered chalets will offer reduced child prices (ages vary, but to around 12/14 yrs in general, with babies/toddlers free or a nominal charge) and the self-catered prices are the same whether you fill the property to capacity or not.

Never managed one at New Year, but got quite good price from Crystal where kids are in their own room in Kaprun. Couldn't face sharing with them, it's a wonder the first one ever got a sibling.

Thanks all. Got a good deal last year and I am only just realising how good it was! We are now having to pay £900 for four year old who was free last year. Will start a new thread asking for tips on how to go independently this year. Many thanks again.
