In response to "I don't doubt there are people who want to travel on Christmas" by ty97

you aren't getting me - christmas vacations are always sold out. people seek them out.

they aren't losing sales. JANUARY is when everything gets really cheap actually - that's when they are looking for people to fill the rooms.

- Not at all. Mea culpa for having opinions that differ. -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 13:16 16
  - i'm just saying, the cruises/resorts charge more because of the demand. there are only so many destinations and LOTS of people choose that week to go - Andie Sep 15, 13:19 5

      - To be fair, you live in NYC, which is famous for never closing, and having a high Jewish population right? -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 13:27
      - people want to BE somewhere i guess. -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:22 1

  - this isn't opinion, it's factual that people like to travel on christmas. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:17 8
    - Oh good, it's fact? SOURCE IT. - ty97 Sep 15, 13:18 7
      - i just did a quick google - here's the very first thing that came up - "christmas vacations selling out fast" - Andie Sep 15, 13:21 5
        
        err, with the link -- (link) - Andie Sep 15, 13:22 4
        
        they refer to Dec 3 to Jan 4 as 'peak travel times' -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:23 3
        
        err Dec 19 to Jan 3. (okay, i've posted way too much in a row now) -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:24 2
        
        certainly, those are peak travel times. The question is: how much fo that is holiday/resort travel versus travel to be with family. - ty97 Sep 15, 13:27 1
        
        this isn't worth arguing, if you ever decide to go away for christmas, you'll learn it firsthand. -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:28

(and, if people want to go after christmas, it's not like they don't have options.) -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:14
