my dad has booked a family holiday for us to spain in ten weeks for four adults and four children my teenage son no longer wants to come will my dad lose all his money if i cancel my son off the holiday?
he has decided he wants to stay with his dad

Depends on the terms and conditions of the holiday. Pick up the phone and ask whomever you (or your Dad) booked from.

thanks have only just found out so not told my dad yet was hoping to say only lost deposit etc

Can you change his name to someone else, another child's friend, another family member, a friend for you?

Otherwise it's going to take your son an awful long time to pay his grandad back the money he's wasted booking a holiday for him

At 10 weeks it's likely you'll lose all of the money paid for your son. Do you know who it's booked with, you may be able to find the T&C's online before you tell your dad.

I'd tell the ungrateful little so and so he can cover any monies lost.

It might not be too bad.

It sounds like the booking was made without any consultation. The booker needs to take the loss if any - he should have asked first, not assumed.

Where did you get that from?

I think OP meant she has only just found out her son no longer wants to go, not that she's only just found out her dad has booked it?

I interpreted it as the latter.. Even so, was the son actually asked whether he wanted to go or was he told that he was going?

I am assuming older teenager (15+) so was he consulted? At that sort of age a family holiday with younger siblings and grandparents would not be high on a boy's list of things to do in the Summer holidays.
