The changing world

Whilst trying to book next year's skiing holiday, I found that both
Inghams and Neilson wanted just about double the one week holiday rate
for a two week holiday. Inghams said that the reason for this was that
they booked flights in blocks of 70 seats and they might be left with
unused seats.

This does change the economics, and for a two week holiday in Kitzbuhel
I found that the cost of the hotel + Easyjet flight + train was cheaper
than the the local travel agent would offer a discounted Inghams
holiday. Always before it has paid me to take a package holiday.
