Holiday firm cancels 'too good to be true' holiday deal
Kristopher Meredith, said Thomson offered nothing to the group of hopeful holidaymakers, after the travel firm cancelled their holiday to Florida.
The 15 day trip of a lifetime was listed at a remarkable £200 per person.
Kristopher told 5 live 'The [agent] next to us found this deal first, they just said 'look at the price, just book it'. However, they realised something was wrong when they received an email from Thomson claiming that there was a 'price error'.
Thomson have released this statement, 'While we always offer exceptional value for money, unfortunately a rare system error last weekend resulted in a small number of holidays being sold for prices that were simply too good to be true. As a result and in line with our terms and conditions, affected customers - including Mr Meredith's party - have been contacted to have the incorrectly priced booking cancelled and the money paid returned.'
