[FONT=&quot]I recently booked a holiday with loveholidays.com, the screen price was £x per person on booking it the price shot up to £x +£100. I went ahead and booked it anyway and queried it later. They said it was a live price and was correct for the day I booked.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Anyone have a similar experience with them.[/FONT]

    Flight and room prices change at the drop of a hat, supply and demand as well as seats and rooms that are sold live as you browse. The more seats, holidays sold for that flight the higher the price gets.


    I use a few different sites like last minute and Booking .com and they usually give X amount of minutes to complete the booking at the price you select. If you don't complete in that time you refresh to a new price.


    Not sure how love holidays work but it will be similar.

    You were given a new price, and chose to carry on and book anyway. That’s all there is to it, really!

    If you weren’t happy with the new price you shouldn’t have proceeded to book.

    The front screen price was also still showing the cheaper price after I booked which was annoying,but yes I agree I didn't have to book.In the price break down it was the hotel part of it that shot up

    You should book your flights and your hotel yourself, it works out a lot cheaper.

    If they're tempting in customers with fake prices which actually aren't available then that's a trading standards offence - but it's not something which gives you any rights which you could enforce.

    Not necessarily.
