    I'm considering a group holiday. On the UK website the sterling price is about 100€ cheaper than on the Irish website. When I put in an Irish address it keeps defaulting me back to the higher priced Irish site. I suppose I could use a UK address but would be wary about any unforeseen problems that might cause. Would I have any rights to claim the lower sterling price & still use my Irish address?

    Is it like for like though (same departure airport, same dates etc etc). If the website is one of the major operators (Thompson, Falcon etc.) then there could be a travel shop up in Newry or Belfast which would accept the booking.

    Is it like for like? If so then that's illegal under EU rules
