Thomas Cook kick starts holidays with 5 day sale
Families looking for a great value getaway can now save hundreds of pounds on their summer holiday in Thomas Cook’s 5 Day summer sale.
Ian Derbyshire, CEO Thomas Cook UK & Ireland said, "With the school summer holidays practically upon us many people are still looking to sort out their summer getaway. There are some fantastic late deals on offer this weekend, especially to our top destinations for this summer - Turkey, Greece, Egypt, the Canaries and Mainland Spain.
"With the Pound hitting a new 20-month high against the Euro, it spells good news for holidaymakers looking to escape to short-haul destinations. As our Cost of Living survey highlighted earlier this month, everyday essentials have gone down in many Euro-resorts such as Spain and the Canaries. This, combined with a stronger exchange rate, will ensure travellers get the most out of their money in these ever-popular resorts this summer.”

Ian added; "There's never been a better time or more reasons to book a package holiday, which offer peace of mind should anything affect your holiday that's out of our control, such as the recent disruption caused by Icelandic volcanic ash. More UK holidaymakers than ever before are making sure their holiday is protected.
"All our package holidays are ATOL bonded, which means that we'll make sure all our holidaymakers are looked after if they are delayed in resort and get home as safely as soon as possible. If a holiday is cancelled and holidaymakers are unable to depart, we'll do our best to get them on a holiday, but if not their money is safe."
Thomas Cook’s 5 Day Summer Sale is available until Tuesday 20th July and is available in all Thomas Cook stores and online at www.thomascook.com.
