help need to cancel one person off Holiday

gone4gold62

hi hope some one can help ,i need to cancel one of our holiday party due to a relationship breakdown, I've been in to travel agent and they are saying that there is nothing they can do just to go to airport and to say its a no show , and if i did take name off i would have to pay a single supplement of 129pounds do you think i should go and ask if they have any family rooms for 3 adults and a infant age 2yrs would this be better and get them any refund?,we don't leave until 16Th Sept , thank you for any advice and help in advance ,

You dont say how long the holiday is but I would opt to keep 2 rooms (assuming thats what you've got booked) rather that try and get one room and all share. Unlikely the hotel will refund you anything because you've not paid for it. Take advantage of the extra space.

Is this person who's not going wanting their money back, because if its outside 8 weeks and a package they would just lose their deposit, but that doesnt help you with the £129 single supplement unless you take it out of any money they are owed as they're the ones thats dropping out and causing the problem. If you are the lead passenger then you could just leave that person on the booking as only you can do anything and go to the airport as normal and tell them as above its a no show.

I had a holiday booked & my OH fell ill the day before our flight & could'nt go. (not seriously)
I just turned up at the airport & told them he was ill.

You never know they might get back together before then?

hi and thank you for your replies , i have looked at the hotels web site and it says that charges for the first night of a no show which will be 83 pounds . no they wont get back together as its me n my ex gf sorry should have made that clear, just struggling to cope after 11yrs together thank you looks like shes not going to get any thing back .,

As long as you've got her money! I've heard many tales in family of people booking and paying for trips on behalf of someone who then decides they aren't going to go, and don't expect to have to pay anything. Leaving the booker well out of pocket!

well that's where i come unstuck because i paid for holiday each week . so she said would pay me back which was great cause it was supposed to be my spending money so basically.I'm reliant on her coming good with it ,

hotels website conditions on n-shows is nothing to do with you if you have booked a package via a tour operator .

Maybe give us some ideas on who was on booking ( you mention still 3+1 travelling) and what prices paid

Sorry to hear that.

Just T.O. she's ill & couldn't fly, I'm sure they'll be ok.

As payless said hotels website conditions on n-shows is nothing to do with you if you have booked a package via a tour operator .


Hope she pays you!

hi yes there are 3 adults still travelling and a child aged 2 , the holiday cost 1 ,795 pounds. I'm pleased to know that hotels conditions don't apply if booking a package , ,
