You think no one has ever questioned it?, like your literally the first person to be bothered by it??My daughter has turned 12 and now we have to pay adult prices on holidays, how can this be allowed, for example on an all inclusive shes not allowed to drink alcohol and doesn’t eat half as much as an adult. Why has no one ever questioned this, maybe there should be an middle price for 12-18 young adults, the average holiday jumps by about £5/600 for a week all inclusive from the age 11 to 12.
Have they though? Why hasn’t it been brought up with an ombudsman? How can someone class a child as an adult when by law they clearly aren’t?You think no one has ever questioned it?, like your literally the first person to be bothered by it??
They must have an influence on those hotels though, even ones over here do it, I see they get round it on the drop down menus when they ask the age of the “child” like it makes a fucking differenceI don't think it's just the holiday companies making this decision. Obviously the kid needs a seat on the plane and if you book all inclusive hotels separately from the flight, most hotels say children are classed as adults from 12 years.

If we wanted to go to turkey two weeks before the school holiday we save £1300! Fine will be £160 so in the future until it’s exam times looks like that could be only optionIt's disgusting and holiday prices in general are a joke. You can fly to the US or further afield in the summer for the same price as Europe. And the hotels are ridiculous. As I've got three young kids they usually try and get us in 2 rooms as well which makes the cost double. A lot can't have 5 in a room because of fire risk/capacity reasons. I've snuck my youngest in before to try and get around it!
And now you face financial penalties if you want to take them out in term time for more than a week, which is what you have to do to see any discount. Stay at school and watch films all week or go on a family holiday....which would be more beneficial I wonder.
It's one of those things sadly. You either have to suck it up, or look at doing airbnb or alternative hotels where it doesn't sting so badly. Or lie about their age and hope they don't look at the passport too closely...
