Discounts for travel in school holidays...

... but only if you live in Kingston!

Interesting approach by Kingston LEA to reduce the number of days lost to authorised school absence. A nice idea, but call me cynical for pointing out that school holiday prices seem to increase in price by about 60% and these travel agents are reducing the price by 5 or 10%...

We have to take our holidays during school holiday times because of my job and it is really frustrating, not to say really expensive having to do so. This discount of 5 or 10% comes nowhere near the inflated price you pay. When I read of the prices other DIS-ers manage to negotiate at quiet times of the year I am really envious. I think you could say that the price of our holiday could be halved if we went out of school holiday time.

Oh well ... it's not to be.
