Hello

At Just You we do sometimes reduce our prices, which can be an advantage if you like to leave it later to make your holiday plans. By waiting until later, you will sometimes save a few pounds but you will be restricted in where and when you can go. The advantage of booking early is that you make sure you get the holiday and departure date you want. So I'm afraid your holiday is still the same price.

Kind regards,

Olly, your editor

Yes Olly

I also booked and paid for my holiday in order to avoid the VAT increase only to find if I had waited a few days I would have saved £100.

Perhaps some sort of discount voucher for another holiday would be appropriate.

The price can go up as well as down, my South Africa trip is now £36 more expensive than when I booked it! As the old saying goes, you pays your money and you takes your chances. I'd prefer to book early and get the holiday and dates I want, rather than risking missing out!

Hi BJ, i do agree with you, but as they say if you don't ask you will never get or know,

But this is why i booked early so i did not miss out on the holiday i wanted so much.

I think it is important that a holiday firm such as Just You always charges the same price to those going on the same holiday. It does create a feeling of distaste when you find you pay more by booking early than those who wait. Regular late discounts may cause more people to book later and impact on holiday certainty - the result being that the whole holiday process is at risk. It is best to see "the big picture".

If Just You decides to continue with the practice, it may be best to offer a similar value of holiday voucher to those who booked early (as suggested in a previous post).

Hi Eric

I do understand your point of view but personally I don't think there is anything wrong with discounting as you get closer to departure.

If you are someone who wants to go on a particular holiday at a particular time, it's always a better idea to book early rather than risk missing out.

But if you don't mind so much where or when you go, it can be worth waiting longer and see if you can save any money. The reduced price you pay reflects the fact that you have a reduced choice of holidays.

I also don't think Just You discounts that many holidays compared with some other travel companies.

Thanks for your comments. I will pass them on to my colleagues.

Kind regards,

Olly, your editor
