Holidays departing Dec/Jan/Feb
The recent decline in the Pound against the Euro has unfortunately increased the cost of your holiday by over 3.8%. Whilst we are prepared to absorb 2% of these increased costs ourselves, we are reluctantly having to add the remaining 1.8% cost onto all holidays. The pound broke a level of acceptable loss to ourselves on 15th Nov 2007. See term below
We will refund you this 1.8% if the currency does indeed move back to the level of 1.47 by the date of your departure, (1.47 was the rate at which your base holiday package was costed).
A further guarantee is that we will fix this surcharge, despite what may further happen to the pound this season.
Please understand that this is not a profit making excercise. We are trying to limit damage after having absorbed over half the actual cost ourselves. Most Tour Ops will be building this surcharge into their price. We would rather make you aware of all costs in an itemised manner.
