Hello, my name is Daniel Tennant. Over the last few years I've been on many exotic holidays and not because I'm rich, because I'm not! But because I've become quite an expert on finding discounted cancellation holidays.
I've created this webpage to share my findings with anyone who wants them. With a little practice you too can be having more holidays than previously possible!
So what exactly are cancellation holidays? Well,
first of all let’s say what they can give you! You
can grab a very cheap deal on a very decent holiday.
A lot of people don’t really understand what they
are and how they’re so cheap so just skip past them
thinking it’s some kind of scam.
People
book their holidays from agents all over the world,
but when you do, you quite often need to book them
way in advance! This can cause problems for people
if something comes up which means they cannot keep
their holiday plans. They do get their money back,
but not all of it as there is a cancellation fee.
Normally these big holidays are cancelled at the
last possible minute, so this means there is an
empty hotel room, flight seat and any other things
that have been booked. So what these agents do is
offer a holiday at a dramatically reduced price.
Normally enough to breakeven but they won’t make
much, or any profit.
This is horrible for the people who need to cancel
their much looked forward to holiday, but for anyone
who wants a discount cancellation holiday, it’s
great!
Because of the costs that will be lost by travel
companies, you only get these deals on big holidays,
which is the best type anyway! So where can you go?
Pretty much anywhere to be honest, but the most
available cancellation holidays available are
normally the Caribbean, Barbados, Jamaica or St.
Thomas. You can also sometimes find holidays to
Florida and Disneyworld in particular, these are not
so common but if you look more closely there are
great deals to be had!
It’s not all good news however, there are a few
downsides. The main and obvious one is the fact that
you don’t get to choose what hotel you’re going to
be staying in. You’re stuck with the one that has
already been booked, but don’t think it’s all going
to be downgraded stuff because it’s not. If it was a
nice expensive hotel that was booked originally,
that’s where you’ll be staying! So a little research
goes a long way in picking these holiday packages.
We’ve talked enough I think about what’s involved in
these cancellation holidays, I think it’s about time
I tell you how to actually find them! There are a
few different ways to do this, first off is the
easiest way but also the most time consuming. You
can phone up individual travel companies and ask to
speak to someone about cancellation holidays. Now
it’s not uncommon for them to not know what these
are because they don’t always have that information
to hand. In which case, just ask to speak to a
supervisor and ask them if they have had any
cancellations on their booking system that are
available for sale. You may think this is classed as
rude, but they really aren’t going to mind because
you’re stopping them from losing money!
You can also find these kinds of deals online, but
they’re not openly advertised as they want people to
book the more expensive holidays. So you’re best bet
will probably to look up some contact info, such as
an e-mail address and send off a few to see what
they can do for you!
I hope you find the cancellation holiday that you
want and enjoy it, knowing you’ve saved a lot of
cash!
