Stop travel companies increasing their prices in school holidays!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

As a teacher, with a young family, i feel discriminated against and robbed.
Due to my choice of career, it seems that my family have to miss out on the opportunity to travel and experience other cultures due to the ridiculously inflated prices during school holidays as we simply cannot afford it.
Stop travel companies charging inflated prices during the school holidays or give those who work in education discounts towards this or give teachers an additional week off at the heads discretion so we can avoid these inflated prices like many other families who simply say the fines are still far less than the cost to travel and holiday abroad in school holidays.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about prices for holidays are a matter for travel agents and airlines, not the UK Government or Parliament.
