Our team of experienced Travel Advisors would be happy to look at the options available for you.
     
  • How do I search for UK breaks on your website?
    Most major UK holiday providers do not offer links into travel agent sites, so you would need to contact us with your requirements, and we can provide a quote.

  • What is ATOL?
    The Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing (ATOL) is a financial protection scheme that protects you when you book a package trip that includes a flight. Please speak with our team to discuss ATOL protection as not all travel and holiday bookings are covered. Upon booking, you will receive your ATOL certificate outlining your protection. The ATOL certificate lists all aspects of your booking that are protected. If parts of your booking are not listed on the certificate, this means it will not be protected. Please visit www.atol.org.uk for more information.

 

BOOKING

  • Do I need to Check my details and documentation I receive?
    You should ensure that all travel details contained in any e-mails are correct during the booking process before final confirmation. Upon booking (on your behalf) a copy of your confirmation(s) will be provided to you. You must check that all details are correct. If any amendments or corrections need to be made to your booking you must inform us as soon as possible and in any event within 7 days of your booking date and before your date of travel. You may be responsible for any charges incurred to amend, correct or cancel your booking. It is the responsibility of the customer to check that they have received all documents required to travel for each element on their booking, and if not received, to contact Love2shop Holidays, without delay, within normal office opening times (and allowing for public holiday closures.) to allow for remedial action to be taken before travelling.
     
  • Do I need to give you an E-mail address?
    When you supply us with an e-mail address then all correspondence will be sent to this address. Please note that you will need to check your spam/junk folder on a regular basis for any e-mails received from us, as important information such as changes to your holiday and balance payments etc. may be missed and Love2shop Holidays cannot take responsibility for any costs incurred due to this. You must have access to this e-mail at all times including the duration of any holiday booked through Love2shop Holidays to allow us to pass on important information from suppliers which may affect your stay and travel arrangements.
     
  • Suppliers
    Please note that if the supplier you are booked with outsources the flights to a third party airline e.g. TUI using British Airways or Easyjet etc.  then your contract is still with the package supplier under their terms and conditions and not with the individual airline. This also applies to Hotel Only bookings in respect of bedbanks we use.
     
  • Does the price stay the same on my holiday quote?
    Please be aware that prices are set by the supplier and can change at any time. Love2shop Holidays cannot be responsible if the price increases over the duration of the enquiry and/or before confirming the booking.
     
  • Am I protected If I book an ATOL protected ‘PACKAGE HOLIDAY’ e.g. Jet2 Holidays, Tui etc?
    Please be aware that if you are booking with an ATOL protected tour operator that any ancillary services booked such as parking, transfers, attraction tickets etc. will not be covered under that company’s ATOL certificate but will fall under the terms and conditions of the supplier of the ancillary services.
     
  • Am I protected if I book elements like ‘FLIGHT ONLY’ or ‘ACCOMMODATION ABROAD’ etc?
    If you are booking anything which can form part of a dynamic package; that all elements have to be confirmed at the same time if they are to form part of an ATOL bonded holiday. Any elements booked at a later time will not be covered by Love2shop Holidays under the current ATOL scheme but will fall under the terms and conditions of the individual supplier.
     
  • What if I give incorrect information at the time of booking?
    It is the lead passenger’s responsibility to ensure that they and their entire party are able to travel to all destinations on their itinerary, including a valid passport, relevant visas (if required) and adequate travel insurance.

    Information should be obtained independently and by visiting www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice

    If you do discover you have supplied the wrong information, please make us aware immediately to ensure we can do our best to help update the details and limit any potential loss or additional costs to you.
     
  • Why can’t I book online?
    You can book Package holidays, city breaks, car hire and hotel only using the love2shopholidays website. Please e-mail or call our Travel team to book UK breaks, cruise holidays, flight only etc.
     
  • When do I need to have my holiday paid by?
    Your final balance is usually due 14 weeks prior to your departure date for travel bookings, however, some suppliers such as scheduled airlines can ask for this earlier.
     
  • I found a holiday, but I can’t find the same holiday on your website.
    Our website has a choice of 150+ partners, so there is a chance that we may not sue that supplier. A full list of who we deal with is available here. (hyperlink). If you find the perfect holiday, e-mail us with the full details and we can look at your booking options.
     
  • Why might your price be different to the supplier direct?
    Most suppliers in travel offer a direct price for the customer and a travel trade price, both prices will differ. This is not a markup made by the travel agent and is frequent practice in the industry.
     
  • How do you check the remaining balance of holiday?
    We’re working on bringing you more options, but for now please contact our Travel team who can provide you with this information.
     
  • Can I amend my booking?
    Yes. Any general amendments made to your booking, will be subject to the suppliers’ terms and conditions and their amendment fees, but a £30 administration fee will also apply from Love2shop Holidays. This also includes adding on meals, seats etc. so we strongly recommend adding this on at the time of your initial booking where possible.
     
  • Can I cancel my booking?
    Yes, you can cancel your booking. Any charges will be in line with your supplier terms and conditions, and any booking and amendment fees will be calculated. We will confirm the total amount associated with cancelling your holiday beforehand. Please be aware that any booking and amendment fees will be non-refundable if you cancel your booking.
     
  • How long will my refund take after I cancel?
    Please be aware that we are unable to refund any monies/vouchers/cards until they are returned from the supplier and this is accompanied by an invoice from them stating the same. This can take up to four weeks depending on our payment terms. We will diary to check this after a week, but ask you to not chase in the interim due to high call volumes into the team and also that we are unable to chase the supplier any earlier than the four week period.
