£99 Mystery Holiday 2024 Guide

You essentially buy a voucher which acts as a credit with another holiday company such as Travelodeal or Weekender Breaks. The holiday company contacts you to book your holiday which can cost £99pp but other charges for better flights, etc. can mean you have to pay a bit more. This could be anything from a 7 night holiday in Bali to a 2 night beach escape in the Algarve, however the majority of trips are European city breaks.

If what you are offered is less than this, you can remind the tour operator of the terms and conditions, however, the "subject to availability" clause may be their response.

When you just find out the destination and hotel, it's nice to spend a little time doing some research to find out how you'll get there and what there is to do. All bookings are subject to availability and the flights won't be held until you make your decision. Because of this, the sooner you confirm, the more chance you have of securing the price. The longer you wait, there is more chance that the flights or accommodation price will increase and you'll have to pay extra.

Once you've booked and you're on holiday, if you have any problems with your booking, you should contact the tour operator it is booked with. The contact details will be on the documentation you receive by email when you book.

If the tour operator cancels your booking before you travel, you should contact them to either rearrange or to discuss credit note and refund options.

If your destination or hotel requires you to pay additional taxes on arrival, this will need to be paid in addition to your holiday when you arrive. Ask the agent when booking your holiday if you will need to pay any extra fees when you arrive.
