Kids under ?

Jambo98

Hi
Does anyone know of a site or high street travel agent that will only charge me for childs places for my two daughters who will be 15 and 16 next year.
Most are 12 and 14 but I'm sure I saw one a while back that classed a child as up to 17.
Any help would be much appreciated
cheers

Wouldn't you be better off by simply comparing the total package prices rather than looking for a child's prices etc.
It's very easy to give someone a discount with one hand & take it back elsewhere.

First Choice and Thomson have kids up to 16/17 but sometimes holidays are cheaper to book them as adults and not kids.
The problem with child prices and free child places is quite often you get slapped with an under occupancy supplement.

You could always try a DIY holiday (seperate flights,hotel and transfers) and see what the price difference is.

https://www.thomascook.co.uk also have different rules for different age limits but don't make this obvious until you are further into the enquiry process, you get a separate screen to fill out.

Some tour operators have offers also e.g. Virgin have a youth rate on their New England ski destinations but not on other destinations. Its a question of trawling for a good deal.

Booking independantly in the USA/Canada is always a good bet as the hotels nearly always allow kids 16 and under to share rooms free and sometimes up to 18. (That is if you can stand them in the same room as you!)

I agree with the first post reply, I have a daughter age 14 and I either pay an under occupency charge or an adult place which often works out cheaper. If you are single parent then which ever way you do it if often cost about the same.
