right I canceled a holidy to the Maldives about 8 months ago now. But yesterday I received my tickets and
Boarding details. I haven't paid a penny and the trip is in less than a month. What do I do?

The reason he cancelled was because his OH ran away with the milkman; so he'll be going on his jack now hehe

I'd:

Write to my MP

Contact Watchdog

Speak to a no win no fee lawyer to claim for distress

I think the dress your wearing is entirely your own fault. Although a lawyer might be into it I guess....

Feign illness and claim on your travel insurance to get your money (that you haven't paid in the first place) back.

I think we're all stupid enough to spend too much time on here.

BUT, call the travel agent. If you go, it may be a form of theft? I assume when you cancelled you got confirmation of the same?

Have you got a credit card?

Go anyway. What's the worst that could happen? They could;

1) Turn you away at the airport,
So what, you've lost nothing other than the taxi fare getting there

2) Not have you booked in at the hotel,
Find another hotel, you've got to the Maldives for free!

3) Turn you away at the Maldivian airport
Buy another ticket home, you just flew to and stayed in the Maldives for free!

I forgot.

Irony only works on those with at least an ounce of wit.
