Yes, you can generally remove a person from a holiday booking, but the financial implications vary depending on the timing and the type of booking. For "package holidays" (flight + hotel), removing a passenger often incurs an amendment fee, typically around £25 to £50, plus any "non-refundable" costs associated with the flights. Because airline tickets are usually non-refundable and non-transferable, you will likely lose the full cost of that person's seat. Furthermore, if the removal changes the room occupancy (e.g., moving from a triple to a double room), the remaining travelers may have to pay a "single occupancy" supplement or a higher per-person rate. In 2026, most travel agents recommend checking if your travel insurance covers the "cancellation of a passenger" due to illness or emergency. If the cost of removal is higher than the original price, some agents suggest simply marking the person as a "no-show" on the day of travel.
