Hi,

After breaking up with my girlfriend I'm now looking to sell a holiday, or at least parts of it. It was something I was really looking forward to in August, but never mind.

I booked one way flights with BA from Heathrow to Venice, 1 way flights from Venice to Paris, and then 1 way flights from Paris to Heathrow with BA again.

Is it possible to sell these and just pay for name changes on the tickets?

Regards,

BA customer services are the only people that can help definitively with this: 0844 493 0787

Also, you may be able to cancel the booking here.

Thank you.

Just had a look now - looks like I'll be getting back around 25 per cent of what I paid.

I'm not even going to bother trying to cancel the Easjet flight from Venice to Paris.

The hotels are non-refundable too. st.

Just go on your jack jones? Might as well use it if the best you can get back is 25%

She gave me just under half of the money. The way it looks it's not worth pursuing the refund. But not exactly fair if just one of us uses it. So looks like we'll both lose out.

I'm not sure as a 26 year old male I'd be wanting to go solo to Paris and Venice - two romantic cities - in boutique hotels. I think I'd feel a bit of a dick.

Edit: not really interested in a shag buddy. Plus that means I'd have to give her money back at a loss to myself. No ta.
