Was in Co-Op Travel yesterday, went in to book a summer holiday for 2. Total cost £1998.00. All fine. It's been a while since I booked a package holiday.
However, they wanted £1000 deposit, plus the balance to be paid 14 WEEKS before departure!!!!! It used to be £50 or £100 deposit plus balance paid 6 weeks before hand.
Is this a new thing? I was shocked. They are sitting on my money earning interest for all that time!
