Anyone have any experience with them

I seem to type in my search criteria and get some bargain prices, then go to the check the price page and it can be more then doubled. £299 for Canada, but then when it came to the price on the calendar thing it was closer to £600. Finland £230 when it came to checking the price £530!

Icelolly also come up with great prices only when you phone to book it is for 5 sharing and if there is two of you it's double.

Anyone else find this frustrating!

Looking for suggestions, either package or not.

Was going to go to Sweden but shelved that idea for this year.

Package holidays seemed to have gone up a lot this last few days, was going to book Livigno April 2nd but the package we were going to go for has gone up £240 per person.

Where do you go rafting? I want to try this but if i am i want to do a decent run and not some rubbish stream somewhere.
if i am going to do something, i want to do it right!

Austria, Turkey, Italy although my first time was in North Wales. I will PM you a couple of links in the next day or two.

To add to my list snowmobiling! Although a couple of years ago I came of at high speed and have not done it since.

I sort of like horse riding, but a bit scared of horses.

Yep, they said it was on H&S grounds in case luggage falls from a locker.

The only other time our hand luggage was weighed was in Budapest on a Ryanair flight. My sister had 11kgs in her case and I had 8.5kgs, they made use take a kilo from one case and transfer it to the other.

I keep hearing this but are skis not pretty tough?

I stuffed my ski bag full of stuff when going with Thomsons and they said nothing, but I had 10kg of hand luggage and was made to put 3kg into my case.

Looking at going skiing in April, thinking of Sweden, anyone been to Åre or any other Swedish ski area?

Although struggling to work out how to get there.
