How does Price Drop Protection work?

Booking your summer hol should *never* be stressful - that's why, if you book a qualifying holiday* (we're covering city breaks and beach jollies, people!) on or after 27th Feb 2025, we'll make it our personal mission to guarantee you THE cheapest deal. We're already cheap as chips, but we're gonna let you call our bluff if you find the exact same holiday for a cheaper price on our website (and it's at least 60 days before take-off) - because we'll give you a voucher for the difference! You heard us. No one's getting ripped off around here - not on our PriceWatch.
