thomsons are also out on the 17th april. There is a preview night on the 16th for 2009 summer holidays in our local shop maybe they are doing the same near you-worth a look ;) They also offer a reservation service for your required brouchure. :)

we are on a mission to book ours as well :sun2

Hope that helps

Co-op Travel had them all this afternoon - all the main ones and all the specialist/family/budget brochures. Got First Choice, Thomas Cook, Airtours and Thomson. Apparently they were going on sale at 3pm this afternoon.

Don't think the staff at my local Thomas Cook shop knew that! They just said come back tomorrow. And they wonder why so many of us choose to book on the net!

I went in our local Co-op Travel shop and they had all the brochures on display and were very helpful about offering them out (with a carrier bag to take them home in), although she did say some of the tour operators wouldn't have their prices available for booking straightaway, but there was no reason why she couldn't let me take the brochures to research my holiday and then call back to enquire about latest prices in a couple more days.

ah right got you now ...thought you meant they were available online lol ....never mind not long to wait now anyways

Interesting to note that, despite the recent mergers, Thomas Cook and Airtours still have seperate brochures for Summer 09, and so do Thomson and First Choice. No Cosmos brochure yet, but they are always quite a while behind the others.

Hi, only thing with Thomson is they don't show you a clear breakdown of the costs when you book online. It was showing a price per person and said it included free kids places, but the cost looked like it had actually charged for the kids. :(

Would love to book for next year but I'll have to go and count my pennys first :cry
Portland have all next year online too, their prices are nice and clear! :)

Just priced the same holiday for next year, £479 dearer than this year but the same price if we go SC. That's gone up an awful lot. :que That was Thomas Cook. Thomsons are only coming up flying from Leeds/ Bradford instead of Newcastle.

Just priced up the same holiday as we are going on this year. (Lara Beach, Turkey). Next year they want £5000+ !!! compared to £2200 this year. (4 adults,3 children) The Hotel/Area is excellent, but not worth that kind of money!!! Denny

If I had a choice lesley I would like to try and get to the Hemera . Its still expensive but not as expensive as some seem to be . looked briefly on both thomas cook and thomson /portland and im getting just over 4K from both - but some of the others and places in Egypt were nearer 5K . Oh well more of the tescos Value range for my family :tup
