What the petition asks
Airlines and resorts inflate their prices to double, or even triple the average price during the school holidays.
I would like the UK government to put a cap on how much these prices can inflate during school holidays.

Going on holiday as a family isn’t a right, but it is a great privilege—one many hard working families miss out on due to unfair price hikes during school term time.
The government now punishes parents harshly for children missing a few school days for a holiday. Parents must either accept these hikes or forgo holidays entirely.
Family holidays are vital for making lasting memories, building stronger bonds, and offering learning beyond the classroom.
