'Mistakes can be costly' when booking holidays to Spain

In the excitement of booking a holiday to Spain or elsewhere it is easy to make a mistake. However, this could prove extremely costly.

According to travelsupermarket.com, changing a name on a ticket can cost between £25 and £120, with some airlines not allowing this at all.

A passenger hoping to alter the date of their booking can expect to pay anything from £15 to £40 each way, plus any difference in the cost of the flight.

"There are myriad of reasons as to why our plans change and many of them are unforeseen, however many charges can also be avoided due to mistakes and carelessness," said travel expert Bob Atkinson.

Travellers are advised to double check their booking before making a purchase and to read their confirmation thoroughly as soon as it comes through.

The majority of Britons are planning to take a break this summer, recent research by TripAdvisor revealed.
