Can i sell a package holiday?

I have a 2 week holiday to st lucia booked in may. I may have to cancel it due to my relationship ending.
Is there anyway you can sell the holiday on ebay for example or are there rules and stipulations against this?

Thanks.

    You could check to see how much it would cost to change the name on the booking

    Who have you booked through?

    Thanks

  • I have booked it with thomas cook, im pretty sure you can pay an admin fee to change the names on the tickets and would be happy with that if i could sell the holiday on to someone else to recoup some money. Just not sure what the best way to go about selling it (if you can).

    Cheers.

  • Yes its thomas cook signature and the flights are with virgin.

    Thanks.
  • To be able to sell it on ebay you must be a registered travel agent (I can't remember what the actual term is) your best bet would be gumtree or something.

    Your then bound by Thomas Cooks terms and conditions

    They may of booked your flights and hotel seperate, this may mean that they are unable to change the names on the tickets

    Speak to them and find out if you can do this first
