        If they're doing this, then it should be illegal to increase prices during peak times.

        Given that holidays are priced on a supply and demand system, it would be impossible to make it illegal.

        It is much cheaper to pay the fine. This has become nothing more than another way to tax parents. The money doesn't even go to the schools!!

        maybe the child's education is more important than a holiday :p

        What's more educational for a child than travel & the experience it gives them?

        How would parents react if teachers decided to take their holidays in term time?

        Don't understand why we don't focus on the reasons WHY parents take children out of school-holiday companies make hols difficult to afford

        I can't afford a Rolls Royce. I accept I can't have one. I don't demand they make them cheaper.

        Rolls Royce don't inflate their prices during a period when most people would want one......

        And even if they did, it would be tough luck.

        But a person would have the option of buying a cheaper car they could afford, wouldn't just go without.
