Found holiday cheaper!

[babyface29]

Hi, me and my partner booked our summer holiday back in september ana have paid over 1150 each, i have recently seen the exact same holiday with the same agent for 200 less! Is there anything we can do our should we just leave it and enjoy our holiday?

There's nothing you can do about it. As long as he avoids contravening legislation regarding such things as racial discrimination, any trader can charge what he likes, when he likes and to whom he likes (or dislikes!) without giving any reason.

For example, persons A, B, C, D & E could all be in the travel agency at the same time. The travel agent could sell the holiday to person A for �1150. He could then refuse to sell the holiday to person B at any price. He could offer it to person C for �1. Person D could be told that it would cost him one million pounds to buy the holiday. Person E could be told that he'd be allowed to pay the 'regular' price of �1150 but only if he agreed to sign the contract while standing on his head, completely naked, and whistling the Slovenian national anthem backwards. The seller sets the price and conditions; it's up to the potential purchaser to decide whether they're acceptable or not. You decided that the price was acceptable to you, so you're committed to going through with the contract at that price.

Just enjoy your holiday ;-)

If the deposit (which you will lose) is less than �200 you could cancel and rebook.
Otherwise as Chris says there is nothing you can do. Look on it as a price for getting the exact holiday you wanted and not risk it being unavailable for late booking.
