Cap airlines and resorts from inflating their prices during school holidays

Rejected 20 signatures

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.
