ATOL Protected

ATOL is the UK Civil Aviation Authority's financial protection scheme for flight-inclusive package holidays sold by UK travel businesses.

All the flights and flight-inclusive holidays on this website are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. When you pay you will be supplied with an ATOL Certificate. Please ask for it and check to ensure that everything you booked (flights, hotels and other services) is listed on it. Please see our booking conditions for further information or for more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: www.caa.co.uk

  • If we ceased trading before departure, your client's money is refunded.
  • If it happened while they were away, they would be flown home at no extra cost.
  • Every flight-inclusive package booked with us comes with an ATOL Certificate.
  • Protection is backed by the CAA's Air Travel Trust Fund, not by us.
