For a single person to go to the Canaries all-inclusive it's well over £1,000 but I can book 2 for just over that due to some amazing discounts.
What would happen if I booked the holiday and only I turned up at the departure gate, not my imaginary friend??
Would I still be allowed to go on the holiday, I know no refund but I'm not bothered about that.
My daughter is working all over Christmas as she works in the NHS and none of my mates can go.","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51774500","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"redcantona"},"datePublished":"2023-12-18T10:32:22.000Z","text":"You'll be fine.
