Update – In July 2010 it was announced that “Portland Direct” / “Portland Holidays” brands will be retired.
Fans of cheap sunshine holidays need not panic though, as Thomson is now offering it’s best prices direct on their website Thomson.co.uk – under the same principle of the original Portland concept, by selling direct Thomson are able to cut out the middle man costs of a travel agency.

PortlandHolidays.com is now open for booking 2010 holidays and the lauch deals are pretty tempting.
There is a low deposit on summer 2010 (May – October inclusive) departures of £50 per person.
& there are free kids places (selected accommodations, selected dates).
Their cheapest Priced holiday is from £130pp for a package holiday to Majorca – that’s based on staying at The Alcudia Beach, flying from Stansted in October 2010. Another deal that caught our eye is a fortnight in Corfu staying at the Adonis & Asonites for £210 departing in June 2010 including flights from Gatwick.
Portland are also keen to point out that free kids places have also been added to some late deals in summer 2009 and also for Portland’s winter 2009 / 2010 departures.
