    It's always tempting (especially if you believe you got a good deal and assume it will have gone up :) ) to check prices after booking ....... but it is always better not to !!

    I take the view that I was happy with the price when I booked it so that is that - but I know it's tempting !

  • Be careful with this - prices can change all too frequently. I would personally just take it that I have been unlucky and forget about the price change - heck, you were happy with the price when you booked.

    The price of your holiday could drop several hundred pounds more by the time you travel - or it might go up. I would maybe check the price again in a few months and if the saving is substantial then cancel and rebook. I say this because we all can get a bit obsessive with this type of thing and at the end of the day it is all one big gamble.
