Hi
There has been various comments on booking part weeks in EU since it's introduction about a year ago.
Some members claim that it gives them more flexibility and choice and enriches their holiday experience and facilitates cheaper flights to destinations as departures are not set on peak changeover dates at the destinations.
others claim that they are causing havoc with the ability to book full weeks, especially during peak and high demand seasons and often you can get only the odd nights at some resorts rather than a week during high and peak periods - even when booking around 10 months in advance. Others claim that it has lead consequently to a reduced number of latebreak weeks available.
With regards to my views I sit between the two camps, I like the idea of flexibilty and saving on flight costs, however, I would like to see the facility restrained to only low and mid season as I have found to my own cost that even trying to book really well in advance at some resorts in high and peak weeks that all the system offers you in return are part weeks and the idea of packing my suitcase and heading off to a resort for say 5 days and them moving onto another for 3 days and then another for 3 days and then yet another for 3 days tocomplete a 2 week vacation is not my idea of "Relaxation simplified".
I just wondered what the views and experiences of part week bookings were in the USA across their 3 collections ?
