I think its called trying to make a profit running a business. People try to think of it as a basic mark up, but you have to think the TO's buy up accommodation and packages in bulk and if they have not sold for what they thought they could get, they will always drop the price to close off availability.
Remember, the deals you see are normally the last few seats on a flight or the last couple of rooms in a hotel, and not the whole set of holidays for that week.

Well good luck to them I always book my own flights and separate accommodation for my main ski holidays then take a cheap one off the greedy ones at short notice. :lol:

I am so annoyed about the discounts the travel companies are offering now for Christmas and the rest of the season, some slashing their prices by £600 per person per week.
If they offered a better deal in the beginning of the season then people would no doubt book, don't they realize that most people families especially have made other arrangements for Christmas now only to find out if they had held back they could have afforded it. :evil:

No wonder people don't book their skiing early.

(This hasn't affected me, but sure it has a lot of families).

My son's were stolen in 1800. Since then we've split the skis but now I'm doubting after Bandit's comment :shock:
We always take the extra insurance out.

If you have house contents insurance that will cover you for theft so long as you get a crime number, any holiday insurance company will ask if you have contents insurance when you make a claim and if you do they tell you that you have to claim off that policy :twisted:

I thought I'd 'bump' this back up to the top of the list for you, so that there'd be some chance of someone helping you. I find once threads disappear off the 'latest ski chat' list I lose them because they go into different sections, and if the forum's been very busy sometimes things disappear before I've even seen them.

I never had this particular problem myself (with childcare), because my youngest was 9 when I started ski-ing again.
