    I think you’ll find that the pricing is controlled by the airlines and hotels. The holiday companies are just aggregators. And if the prices are capped, you’ll get a black market and a proliferation of hidden fees to work around the caps.

    Anyway, not having small kids anymore, I like being able to travel at off-peak prices. And as an added minor benefit, there aren’t so many confused families clogging up the security queues at the airports.

      OK, clamp down on airlines and hotels then.

      I agree going off peak - I’m of an age where I can ;-) It’s wonderful not having noisy kids around.

      Don’t fly anymore though - too much sodding about at airports and hidden charges. A van at a Haven site (Hopton) outside of school holidays does us nicely.
