Thomson have really upped the stakes with the quality of holiday videos available and the sheer number of hotels now shown on video on their site.

As well as videos Thomson also bring you real reviews of hotels and resorts.

Late deals is the section to look at if you're planning to travel in the next 6 weeks. This is an excellent way of getting some brilliant bargains! If you can be packed and on the plane quickly (I have known same day holidays be available for virtually nothing) then some real huge bargains are available. Obviously if you need to have a little more time to pack then there'll still be some fantastic bargains on offer.
You can sort the late deals by the different columns - this means you can sort by rating, so if you're after some real luxury then you'll find what's on offer quickly.

The new airport map is excellent for allowing you to specify which airports you're happy to fly from. If you only want Manchester and Liverpool then you can set this as options and this'll help you find the late deals flying out from here. If you want a specific date then you can add this in. Being flexible is the key to booking the best bargains though.

You can hold the mouse over the little photo image in the late deals listing for a picture of the hotel. This helps you save having to go onto the more info page.

Look at destinations for picking where you want to go. This allows you to have more than one option and is a great innovative step. Useful if you have several locations you'll consider but want to avoid a couple of destination countries.

By being less restrictive on destination you'll find that you can get great holidays for less. Thomson show you some amazing deals and when you sort by price you can constantly check how well they're doing on cost!
