What they are doing is they are desperately trying to sell the accommodation as they are not full so want you to book the full package from them and not a flight

We found that as well a package worked out cheaper.

Have booked for next year using a much more smaller travel company package because the flights are so dear already and the package worked out cheaper, plus a low deposit of £10 each.

Aegean I think aren't as competiive as last year considering its bargain bucket and also that 4 x flights for us were around £1000 or more.

I havent checked for a couple of weeks so they could have gone up again.

I think perhaps Aegean need to have something whereby you pay a deposit and that could help some people. Tis a big difference having to pay over £1k in one swoop while still struggling to sort this years hols out and pay a fortune for diesel and food at the same time.
