Thomson & First Choice launch summer sale
As Britain gets ready for 40 days of rain, Thomson and First Choice’s ‘Biggest Ever Sale’ sees savings of up to £400 off per couple and thousands of free kids places on great late deals.
St. Swithin's Day is 15 July, when tradition says that whatever the weather is like on that day, it will continue so for the next forty days. According to the Met Office, the forecast for Thursday doesn’t look good unfortunately: “Rain in Scotland becoming confined to the northwest. Otherwise, scattered heavy and blustery showers continuing, with some good spells of sunshine between them. Very windy in southern England and Wales.”
If the legend of St Swithin is anything to go by, the only way you can rest assured of a sunshine holiday this summer will be to go abroad – which is why Thomson and First Choice have launched their Biggest Ever Sale online, in store and via our call centres.
Until the end of August, the sale will include a host of great, late sunshine-getaways still available from 23 UK departure airports, meaning that you can escape St Swithin’s style doom and gloom. Furthermore, customers looking to book can save up to £400 per couple or benefit from the thousands of free kids places available.
“With the end of the World Cup, we anticipated that there would be demand for late breaks this summer, not just from families, but also from those seeking an adult-only holiday" says Alex Loftus, General Manager, Short and Mid Haul Product. "That’s why we have ensured that we've got some fantastic late deals available across our programme for the many people that will be looking to get away from it all. With savings of up to £400 per couple on late deals available and the pound gaining some strength against the Euro again, it’s a case of ‘better late than never’ for those looking to book a late summer holiday in our biggest ever summer sale.”
