Just some general advice for all you last minute bookers.

Have been flooded with people wanting to go away over the next week and many people have been dissappointed with what is available. Late bookings have dramatically increased over the last 2 weeks as people want the sun and are fed up with the uk weather. Tour Operators have pushed prices up to try and cash in on this whilst they can especially on the non euro zones.

Heres a few hints that may help.

1 - Capacity this year has been reduced so you have to be flexible with your dates if possible as there are not as many flights.
2 - Be realistic with your budget. I know times are hard but with the reduced capacity and the surge of late bookings, prices have increased quite alot, especially for All Inclusive deals.
I have had people wanting a weeks all inc and a budget of 250 per peson with everything included. Agents want to be able to offer the best deals and there systems hunt hi and lo all day so if you are looking through the net and your not seeing much, more than likely is because there isn't much. If there were cheap cheap deals then agents would be selling them heavily.
Some of you may or may not know but agents advertising through say teletextholidays pay a fortune to advertise on it so try not to call and say, i'll book it if you reduce it by £50 because they won't. Your lucky if they make that on a whole booking with some companies.
3 - Remain open minded and try to be as flexible as possible, if your budget isn't enough for All Inclusive then think about self catering, some operators do have some good deals on their committed stocks that they are trying to shift so keep an open mind.
