    that was the price i paid Gary, i booked it all from their web site..maybe they hike up the prices during school holidays? £300 is still expensive but a lot better than £460!... edit just went on the web site again and the cheapest i can up with for leaving on a sunday and returning on a monday is now £492.economy class !

    Maybe it has something to do with me always booking it around Dec/Jan for the following summertime. Maybe the prices are sky high if you don't book in advance.

    I'll be booking it again for next years trip as I tried the Chunnel again this year for a change. I'd forgotten how monotonous the slog down South was. :eek:

    Holiday prices are always high when booking in winter cos that's when everybody's thinking of holiday

    No Reggie (Gary) books his ferry in the winter and gets a good deal as he is booking well in advance. i just booked a few months in advance and got stung paying a silly price..next time i will book 6 months in advance!..no doubt if you book a ferry during the school hols it will be more expensive though
