There are thousands of package holidays for under 300 euros for many sunshine destinations during the next couple of months -nearer to 200 euros for a week to some places in May. That's equivalent to ten times cheaper than when i first started selling holidays 30 years ago -average for a week in Spain 200 punt -a months salary.
Remember that package-holiday include not only flight and accommodation but also all taxes,fees, luggage, transfers between hotel and airport.
I book both tour operators deals as well as booking flights and accommodation seperately. At present, with the crazy low prices of desperate tour operators I just can't find better deals for my clients than those offered by the tour operators.
I'm talking about a week in the sun in April-June to the traditional resorts for a couple or small families.
P.S. there's no such things as a cancellation -it's a travel trade term for "damn- we just can't shift these holidays -let's knock them out half price but pretend that they are cancellations so we dont upset those who paid twice the amount"
