Hi I emailed myself a holiday quote from online provider a few days ago. and the link shows the holiday at the same price though price has since gone up online. Does anyone know please can I use the price from my email- it looks happy to accept payment?

    Does the email say anything about the price quoted being valid for any period of time?  Holiday pricing is normally fluid and can change quickly.

    If the link on the email works and everything shows OK and takes you to a payment page that accepts card details then you can always try. 

    However if the price of holiday elements has increased, don't be surprised if the "Online provider" comes back to you saying the holiday isn't available and can be booked at a new price or you can have a refund.

    Does depend on the provider though.

    Who is the provider as that might give a clue how likely they are to honour a quote.
