As of 13 August 2026, AI can review the terms of your UK holiday booking.
This still needs a person who signs their name to it.

What the alternative costsA solicitor is the alternative when the wording is disputed, the loss is significant or you need advice on pursuing a claim.
If this goes wrong: you misunderstand a cancellation, refund or liability clause and make a decision that costs you money or weakens a complaint.

How to actually do it
- Open the booking confirmation, package travel terms, supplier terms, payment receipts and any emails that changed the booking, then remove passport numbers, payment details, booking references and other unnecessary personal data.
- Paste or upload the documents to an AI tool and use the copyable prompt, adding your specific concern such as cancellation, refund, changes or an illness affecting travel.
- Ask the tool to produce a clause-by-clause table with the exact wording or page reference, the plain-English meaning, deadlines, fees and any uncertainty.
- Compare every quoted clause, date, amount and deadline in the answer against the original booking documents, and delete any point that cannot be found in them.
- Send the provider only the factual questions from the AI output, asking for written confirmation of the relevant term, refund position or deadline.
- Take the original documents, the provider's reply and the checked AI summary to a UK solicitor if the booking has a substantial financial impact, the provider rejects your interpretation or you need advice on a claim.
Prompt
Review the UK holiday booking terms pasted or attached below. This is not professional advice. Do not decide whether I should sign, cancel or make a claim. Instead: 1) summarise the booking, payment, cancellation, refund, amendment, transfer, travel-document, insurance, complaint, liability and dispute-resolution terms in plain English; 2) quote the exact clause or page reference for every important point; 3) list deadlines, fees, exclusions and conditions; 4) identify wording that is unclear, unusually restrictive or appears inconsistent within the contract; 5) separate what the contract expressly says from what you are inferring; 6) give me precise questions to ask the holiday provider; and 7) identify which issues should be taken to a UK solicitor or an official process. Do not invent missing facts or state that a clause is legally enforceable unless the contract itself supports that conclusion. If information is missing, say so. Contract and booking details: [paste here]. My question or concern: [describe here].

What it gets wrong
- AI cannot determine reliably how an ambiguous clause would be interpreted in your particular dispute.
- AI cannot confirm that the booking provider's current policy or position matches the contract unless you obtain current written confirmation.
- AI cannot negotiate a binding refund or accept responsibility for the advice.
- AI cannot replace a UK solicitor where you need a legal opinion, formal complaint strategy or help pursuing a claim.
- AI may miss a document incorporated by reference, such as separate airline, accommodation or insurance terms.
Even on a YES, the friction has a name: judgement under ambiguity, legal accountability and stakes of error.

FAQ
- Can AI check if my holiday booking is refundable?
- Yes, it can find and explain the contract's cancellation and refund wording, including deadlines, fees and exclusions. You must compare its quotations with the original terms, and ask the provider to confirm the current position in writing.
- Can AI tell me whether I can cancel my holiday?
- It can identify what the contract says about cancellation and flag information you need to confirm. It cannot give a binding answer on a disputed or ambiguous clause, so take that issue to a UK solicitor.
- Is it safe to upload my holiday booking to AI?
- Remove payment details, passport information, booking references and other unnecessary personal data before uploading it. Check the tool's privacy terms, and do not upload documents if you are not comfortable with how the service handles them.
- Can AI help me complain about a holiday booking?
- Yes, it can organise the chronology, extract the relevant clauses and draft a factual complaint for you to check. It cannot decide the legal merits of a serious claim or act as your solicitor.
