Title: Have Thomsons found a new trick?
Post by: Jules on June 10, 2013, 12:13:12 AM: If you look on Thomsons website for next years hols they give you a choice of 2 flight times for your return journey on some of the holidays. One flight goes over to day 15 and the holiday price for 2 weeks is over £1100 per person. What are they up to.

I noticed before that they over-price to start (testing the water), and if anyone books it's a bonus for Thomsons.
Come the run up to Xmas and New Year, if not many "bites", then they drop the price with special reductions etc
We've seen it all before, this and many other sales ploys to maximise their greedy profits....
