Gotta say Tony that my first instict was to blame the french, why wouldnt we??
But i think it is more likely that it is the TO's that are doing this so people can have a full week over xmas or new year. I know i would prefer monday to monday and not have to travel on xmas day.
Christmas week is a big money spinner for them is it not?
I think that it would be better though if they did this just over xmas and not carry it too new year.
It seems to be just the destinations that involve saturday flights, france and austria.
Andorra and Italy, sunday departures seem unaffected
I'm going on it even if none of the rest of you are!!
You won't have time, you've still got a coffe tabel to make!!
If you are going, then how could I miss it :D
i am thinking of that now but i always get put of by stupid transfer prices!

I think it's everywhere in Europe. I was chatting to our agency, and they told me they want folks to book 2 weeks over Xmas and New Year, because they can't get the staff for the handovers work.

Nope! Doesn't look like it.
Crystals brochure shows that France is normally a Saturday departure but prior to xmas they run monday to monday.
Then they switch back to Sat/Sat from the 8th Jan. This means that the first week in Jan is cut to 5 crappy days!!!
No France for me then. Looks like Andorra (sunday dept) for my Jan trip. May look at france for easter.
Is this just France, as it stinks of typical French "we are not working on XXXX days..." attitude?

If you really want to do a full week at the start of January just DIY. Accommodation and flights can be had on the super cheap then anyway.

In that case you are definitely going to the wrong places. Get a train or a bus.
