Service Charges on Booking:

Certain services we provide are non-refundable in addition to the supplier’s fees.

Financial Protection and ATOL:

All flights and flight-inclusive holidays in this on this website are financially protected by the ATOL scheme . An ATOL Certificate will be issued to you when you purchase an ATOL-protected flight or holiday package through us. This section explains financial protection under the ATOL scheme and how this affects you and contacting the relevant bodies in case of a bad situation.

An ATOL Certificate identifies the suppliers who will provide the services you require (or a suitable alternative). If either the supplier nor we are unable to oblige for the services purchased due to insolvency an alternative ATOL holder may do so. In these circumstances you allow the alternative ATOL holder to provide you with these services and you will pay any dues to the substitute ATOL holder under your contract. It is also agreed that there will be some instances where such ATOL holder cannot be appointed. in this case there can be a claim made by you under the ATOL scheme or through your relevant credit card company.

As a result of insolvency the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you. This is in case if we or the suppliers listed on the ATOL certificate held by you cannot provide the services listed in any case whatsoever. In the case of a benefit or payment you agree to the Trustees rights and claims that rise out of or related to the service non-provision including any claims against us , the third party agent, or even the issuer of your credit card. In addition you agree to have these claims assigned to another body considering that body pays you under ATOL.
