Lower prices on remaining places

– Right now, you can already get a one-week southern holiday for less than NOK 2,000 per person at the end of May, Anne Mørk-Loengren, communications director at TUI, said in a press release on Monday.

That is if you can travel on very short notice and are flexible about your destination.

Here you have to bomb

– I didn't think we would see such low prices this season. But when the sun shines here at home and it's as hot as it is now, this affects demand and then prices for the remaining places go down, says Mork Loengren.

You can also secure a fairly high standard hotel for a fraction of the price in high season if you are willing to spend a few thousand more.

– When the weather changes to normal Norwegian weather, unstable summer weather here at home, the price level of the remaining places also returns to normal. So, if you're looking for a real travel deal, you need to be fast and flexible, Tui's communications director said.
