Exchange The Rain For Sun With £40 Off Your Holiday Plus Free Guaranteed Sunshine

Aug. 17, 2009 - PRLog -- The predicted great British summer has once again disappointed and with barbecues looking more like paddling pools, lowcostholidays.com, the low cost holiday experts is offering customers an escape from the gloomy rain with an additional £40 off a limited number of bookings made between now and the first week of September of £600 or more.
For departures before the end of August there is even a FREE sunshine guarantee meaning if you don’t get an average of 5 hours of sunshine a day, you will get £400 back.
The miserable August weather in the UK has led to a surge in searches and bookings for sunshine holidays in September on the www.lowcostholidays.com site.  There has been an 88% increase in the number of holidaymakers searching for trips in September on the website compared to this time last year and September bookings are up 65% year on year.  
Early winter bookings are also proving hugely popular with searches for winter up by 92% and winter bookings up by 55% year on year.
Paul Evans, CEO of lowcostholidays.com said, “With yet another rainy summer in the UK, many people may think they can’t afford a holiday abroad.  With our great value deals for sunshine destinations throughout the Mediterranean and beyond, a sunshine holiday really is an affordable option for everyone.  The UK was forecast to have a scorcher this summer but it has fizzled out.  For bookings to depart before 31st August we are also offering a FREE sunshine guarantee, if the customer’s holiday destination airport records an average of less than 5 hours sunshine per day in August for the duration of their holiday, any holidaymaker taking out this policy can claim back an amazing £400. ”
Matt Hall, Head of Product at lowcostholidays.com adds, “There are plenty of great value deals to be had for September and early winter with Greece proving our most popular destination with prices having dropped by up to 40% compared with travel in August.  Cheaper flight prices and special deals with our hotel partners are driving this increase.  Searches for Crete are up by 90% month on month with bookings for September up 150% month on month and Rhodes and Corfu are also reporting similar increases.  Other destinations proving popular for September include Egypt, Tenerife, the Algarve, Majorca and Ibiza.  With more and more price reductions coming through, this is great news for the consumer looking for a great deal on a September holiday.”
To take advantage of this offer, customers simply need to add the code ESCAPE when finalizing their booking.  To also take advantage of the FREE sunshine guarantee, departure date should be no later than 31st August with travel to areas where the guarantee is available and must be booked when booking their holiday by calling Freefone 0800 988 28 35.
