Price gone down 3 days after booking

bootman

It always happens to me!! 3 days after booking the price of my holiday has fallen.

I never seem to get it right. I called the company, they said basically tough. I wish they would have some kind of price promise a bit longer that 24 hours:mad:

If it always happens, next time why don't you hold off from booking at the point when you're about to book, and then come back and book three days later? You're wasting your time calling the company about it.

How would you have felt if they had increased the prices and asked you to pay up the difference?

You buy something in a shop say GAP or Debenhams for instance. If the price goes down within so may days they honor it and refund the difference. 24 hours for a holiday company to honor a price drop is not very long that was all I was saying!

Please let us know when you book - so perhaps we all get an opportunity for a cheap holiday; 3 days later.

I understand what your saying but would you have paid the extra had the holiday gone up the day after.I think not.

Well, know what you mean. I booked our flights to Mexico after watching the prices go down then climb back up, and lo and behold, a week later the price drops by £100....PER TICKET!! Grr....oh well, I'd have been gutted if they gotten even more expensive!

It's just a fact of life...

I think it is one of those 'you pays your money, you takes your chance' moments. We generally book our holidays 18+ months in advance but that is on the understanding that if we see a price drop then the TA will match it ... and, on the one occasions that this has happened he did not match it (however he did give us sweetners worth much more ).

In America the TA continually fights, monitors and checks to ensure their custmoers have had the best value .. over here once booked we are forgotten about.
