BBC One - Rip Off Britain, Holidays: Series 6, Episode 14

Are the great deals advertised for holidays always quite what they seem or even available?

The team investigates whether the great deals advertised for holidays are always quite what they seem - or if they are even available at all.

Gloria Hunniford, Angela Rippon and Julia Somerville investigate whether the great deals advertised for holidays are always quite what they seem - or if they are even available at all. With viewers furious at what has happened when they have tried to bag the bargain prices they have seen, there is a test to see just how much the costs can rocket. 

Also, why thousands of cruise passengers could be setting sail without the vital protection they need, and the hotel booking sites under official scrutiny to see if the way they try and push you into making a decision is unfair. 

Plus Simon Calder has tips for saving money when visiting the theme park capital of the world, Orlando in Florida.
