Can I cancel?

Why not cancel the holiday and rebook? At least that way you'll be £100 up.

:rotfl:I had a feeling someone worried about the hotel class being downgraded would be posting on an iphone!

Maybe I could change to another hotel (£50 each), then change back again (£50 each)?
I'd be quids in!

No-one likes a smart @rse.

Didnt you say that you would lose your deposit that was £500?
You also stated that the same booking would be £600 cheaper.

My maths makes that a £100 saving if you cancel and rebook.

If I change hotel, then change back at a cost of £200...that's £400 on the hip!
Cancellation charge...£250 PP
Change of hotel/holiday....£50pp

If you say the name tomtontom really really slowly it sounds like 'gullible':rotfl:

I hardly think you're in a position to call anyone else gullible when you're the one who fell for, and paid through the nose for, the 'a la carte' marketing nonsense in the first place.

why would you change and change back ?

he made a legit point, you could save £100 by cancelling and rebooking, 500 cancellation fee but you get it £600 cheaper

I'm sure you know the terms and conditions of your holiday like the back of your hand by now, but if you are think of changing your booking and then changing it back again you may wish to read over section 11 of the 'your contract' part of the t&c's. It's the area where you obviously found out that the charges to change were £50 each, and the area where this little asterix is placed:

* please note there won’t be any reduction in the price you pay, even if your new travel arrangements are cheaper than the original booking.

I think that means that if you amend it to something cheaper you won't get a refund on the price difference so you would in fact end up £200 out of pocket as you would pay £50pp for each change.

Section 15 might also be handy:
