in the middle of last October I booked return flights to Krakow in my February half term holiday

by the time all the extras were added on the total cost was £198

it is now just a month until I go and I have just checked to see how much the same flights cost, including all the same extras

£97 !!!!

Try ~~selling~~ buying half of your house from your ex-partner when house prices were at the very peak, and funding it with a fixed-rate mortgage just as interest rates plummeted.

Oops! that should have read buying rather than selling.

It's always the way. The times I have bought clothes only to find the price has been reduced next time I visit the shop

and when you wait as you think prices may drop you end up paying waaaay more than when you first saw it!

come up and see me...make me smile :wink:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO -What a Ride!:D

I think with holidays it seems that the price stays more or less the same. If you look at the book early save price it will be muchg the same as the last minute.com price. I guess the agencies have got wise to everyone waiting til the last minute.

Stay at home and save the planet Ben!
