Travel Foundation Donation

My Mum just got her invoice for her holiday and it listed a £1 donation to "Travel Foundation" [charity]

Now, I know it's only a pound and it's a charity but aren't they a bit naughty charging you that whether you like it or not? [wasn't mentioned when booking]

Or is it just me? :p

    The donation IS optional, and the travel agent should've checked with your mum when she booked. Its just a box that can be un-ticked on the booking system at the time the reservation is madeand hey presto, the donation disappears. If your mum doesn't want to pay it, tell the travel agent who made the booking that she wasn't asked about it and they'll probably stand the £1 cost themselves. Far cheaper for them than getting the invoice altered, ringing up the tour operators 0870 number etc.
