Standard payment terms
We generally do not have standard payment terms for our holidays supplier. It is the supplier who defines the standard payment terms. We have payment requests from holidays suppliers based on a certain amount of days before (packages, flights, cruises) or after (accommodation, transfers) the holiday takes place. The payment terms that we are reporting here is the difference between the date of the statement and the date of payment.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?
No
Were suppliers notified or consulted about these changes before they were made?

Maximum contractual payment period agreed

Any other information about payment terms
Please note that where we put 0% for payments made outside of the agreed payment terms, the true percentage was actually 0.4%.
Dispute resolution process
Our supplier payments team checks internally with both our systems and branches any difference to the statement value sent by the supplier. If the supplier value is verified we pay the amount due. If the supplier value is not correct, the team will get in touch with the supplier to try and resolve the query before the next statement is issued by the supplier. The volume of booking queries have reduced significantly since COVID & late payments are back in line with pre pandemic levels.
