Not school holidays where we live too, but heat added because they are school holidays - for at least some people, anyway.

Am I the only one to get slightly irritated that a lot of threads for holiday deals on here getting massive heat when they are solidly in term time? Getting deals for those times is like shooting fish in a barrel in reality. It's far, far harder to get great deals when the schools are off.

We're going to Tenerife over Easter next year. I booked as soon as I could with Ryanair and got "bargain" return flights for £240 a head. Looked again the other day and they were up to a more typical £400ish a head.

I don't take my kids out of school during term time but can understand why some do - there's a fair chance that's realistically the only way some families can enjoy a foreign holiday.together.

Allow me to demonstrate:

I know I could knock off the allocated seating, but what do you do when you have child who is special needs?

And of course don't forget the hotels are more expensive over Easter too.

Flying from?

That's not school holiday time where we live!

Easter is on 16th, so this is before the easter holidays for most.

our school holidays start on the 18th.

apologies, our holidays are 1st April to the 17th April.

Buyers beware this holiday company tried to fool me by putting extra charges on a holiday I went on 2 weeks ago. After booking my holiday for 2 adults 3 children they phoned me to tell me 24hrs later that they'd put extra charges on top because the flights we'd booked were no longer available. They asked for an extra £126 pp. I'd never use this company to book anything.

Ooh this is our school holidays! Bargain!
