Lovholidays Coupons & Promo Codes October 2026

What loveholidays actually is

loveholidays is a booking platform, not an airline or a hotel owner. According to its general terms, the company operates online and by phone so users can search, compare, combine and book travel services including flights, hotels and transfers. It states plainly that it does not own or operate those services: you enter a separate contract with each provider, and loveholidays acts as the provider's agent (or sub-agent), except for certain flights where it acts as your agent for searching and booking.

That single fact shapes everything else. You are not buying one packaged product from one operator; you are assembling components, and each component carries the supplier's own conditions on top of loveholidays' terms.

Who it suits, and who it doesn't

It fits travellers who want to build a trip from separate pieces — a flight here, a hotel there, maybe a transfer — and compare combinations in one place. It also suits people who want to spread the cost: the terms describe low-deposit and monthly payment plans where a provider offers them, with payment dates shown at the time of booking.

It is a poorer fit if you want one contract, one responsible organiser and no supplier fine print. The terms are explicit that these are not traditional pre-packaged holidays where services are pre-selected and sold under a single contract.

When your booking counts as a package

This matters more than any discount. Under the terms, a package generally arises when you book a combination of at least two travel services in one booking — transport, accommodation, car rental or other tourist services — covering more than 24 hours or including overnight accommodation. If you combine "other tourist services" with only one of transport, accommodation or car rental, it is only a package if those other services are not intrinsic to the main service, are not bought after performance has started, and make up at least 25% of the package value or are otherwise an essential feature.

Where a package exists, the package rights page sets out the protections: essential information before you sign, at least one trader liable for proper performance, an emergency contact, the right to transfer the package to another person on reasonable notice (possibly at extra cost), and insolvency protection. That page cites Air Travel Organiser's Licence number 10989 with the UK Civil Aviation Authority.

Choosing flights, hotels and transfers

• Check the confirmation, not the search screen. The terms state a booking is only confirmed when you receive a Booking Confirmation email containing a valid reference number for each travel service. Processing can take up to 72 hours.
• Expect price movement before confirmation. If payment fails or price or availability changes, the team may try to rebook at the same price; if that fails, you will be contacted and any increase must be paid before confirmation.
• Names must match passports exactly. The terms put responsibility on you for complete and accurate passenger data.
• Book the insurance question early. Travel insurance is your responsibility, and insurance bought through the platform is not part of your package.

Price changes after you book

For package bookings, loveholidays may pass through changes in fuel or energy costs, third-party taxes and fees, and relevant exchange rates — but only if it notifies you at least 20 days before the package starts, with a calculation and explanation. If the increase exceeds 8% of the total price, you can accept and pay, reject and end the package with a full refund, or reject and take an alternative package if one is offered. You normally get about 7 days to decide, after which a reminder is sent. If relevant costs fall before departure, you have a right to a price reduction, though administrative costs may be deducted.

Paying: deposits, instalments and cards

Where a provider offers a low deposit, the first instalment is payable per person at booking, and the second is normally taken automatically from the same card. If you cancel before the second deposit date, the terms say you remain liable for the full deposit amount. On monthly plans, the balance is taken in instalments with the final payment due by the date in your Booking Confirmation. Miss it and the booking may be cancelled with the provider's cancellation charges.

Accepted cards are Visa, MasterCard and American Express, with no card fee from loveholidays — though your bank may add a foreign transaction fee for cards not registered in the EU. Cards are subject to security and fraud checks.

Using offers and vouchers honestly

Discounts on this site come in two shapes: automatic campaign reductions applied to the holiday price, and voucher or promo codes entered in the discount code field on the payment page. The friends programme terms show how tightly codes are controlled: a referred friend gets €50 off a first package holiday with a €750 minimum, the referrer gets a €25 voucher with the same €750 minimum, each voucher is single-use and valid 30 days, codes cannot be combined, and publicly posting a referral link is prohibited and can lead to account termination.

Treat any code you find elsewhere with suspicion unless the same terms appear on loveholidays' own campaign conditions page. Codes are typically restricted to package holidays (flight plus accommodation), online or app bookings, and cannot be used by phone.

Changes, cancellations and the money you won't get back

This is the section to read before paying. The terms distinguish package bookings from hotel-only bookings and set cancellation charges of €75 per package booking and €25 for a hotel-only booking. For certain named fixed packages, 100% of the flight value is non-refundable from the moment of booking, including baggage and insurance, while the accommodation and transfer value is refunded on a sliding scale.

Some rates are sold at a special price and are explicitly non-refundable, non-changeable and non-transferable. Once a booking is confirmed, names and other details may not be changeable at all, leaving cancellation as the only route. Separately, you may cancel a package before departure without a cancellation fee in unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances, and package rules also allow termination without fee where essential elements change significantly.

Not published in the material reviewed: a standalone shipping or delivery policy, since this is a travel booking service rather than a goods retailer, and any general refund timeline for supplier-issued refunds. Ask before booking if those matter to you.

Practical booking checklist

1. Decide whether you are building a package or booking a single service — the rights differ.
2. Read the supplier's own terms for the flight or hotel, not just loveholidays'.
3. Confirm the fare rules on changes and refunds before paying a deposit.
4. Check that the total price shown already includes any automatic campaign discount.
5. Keep the Booking Confirmation email and verify every reference number.
6. Arrange insurance independently of the booking.
