We went to First Choice to book a holiday to Mexico. We knew the hotel where we wanted to go and the dates we wanted as we had seen the package online on their website. We quoted the price we had seen online only for them to tell us it had gone up about £100 each. The travel agent who was helping us book was very friendly and helpful and gave us a very useful tip for the future: If you look at a package holiday a lot online then they put the prices up as they have teams which monitor the popularity of each of the holidays . So if you go online and keep checking whether the holiday price has gone down or up then it will probably go up as the teams monitoring it think there is a lot of interest in the holiday, when really it is only you checking it a lot! The travel agent ended up giving us a discount which brough the cost down to less than what we saw it for online. We also got our foreign currency through First Choice as it you book your holiday through them you get VIP rates for foreign exchange so it can often work out the highest rate. read more
