Will LastMinute honour this booking?

I have just made a booking for a v cheap ski holiday to Austria. When I did the original search on Last Minute, I put in 2 adults and 2 children (aged 8 and 10). However, when entering passenger details, the earliest year I could enter for a child was 1998 and my eldest was born in 1997. So I changed the criteria to 3 adults and 1 child and have booked, putting in the correct dates of birth for all travellers. My question is: do you think it is ok to list the 10 year old as an adult? Secondly, it was particularly cheap - £1150 for a family of 4 half board in Feb half term - once the booking is made with Last Minute, are you guaranteed that price? Thanks for any advice. I will be devastated if it falls through 2mo, as it's my husband's 40th that week and I didn't think we'd get anything in our budget.

    I would guess that if you couldn't put a 1997 date in then your child IS an adult in Last Minute's eyes.

    Can't see why they shouldn't honour it.

    Thanks, I am just a bit worried that on the home booking page, children are classed as 2-16, on the hotel page children are 2 -10, but I was unable to enter my 10 year old son as a child. I suppose I will have to keep my fingers crossed until tomorrow.
