I've recently booked a holiday through a travel agent and then my partner found EXACTLY the same holiday cheaper by over £200 online with the same company, on the same day. We went to travel agent and told a little white lie which has resulted in the company offering us our whole deposit back. Thing is, if i do cancel with travel agent then come home and book online, will they know i've just played them? Will they be able to pull an "i don't think so" and prevent me from booking? Little worried i end up with no holiday at all. Do i take the risk for the sake of a bit of extra dosh?

but you will have to be fast as these on-line prices have a habit of changing daily and if you go ahead make sure that the on-line price is still the same just before you cancel.

We booked on the high street with Thomson but through Crystal Ski (who are owned by them), we checked Crystal's website and found a much better price. Really hope your right about this
They wont know, but if you cancel and then try to rebook it on line it may get sold and you lose out.
just done the same thing,booked direct with hotel and now find a cheaper deal on line.have paid one night deposit with hotel which they assure me will be refunded so cancelled and have booked the better deal on line.You just have to keep looking and do whats best for you
Well i took the advice and i'm very pleased to say that i got my money credited back to my account and i've successfully booked the same holiday for £245 less online...thats EXACTLY the same holiday btw. So if you've found it cheaper online then don't hesitate, tell a little white lie and get your money back! Or better still, check online then check the high street travel agent! Thanks for your advice guys, you've saved me a chunk!
