Booking low cost flights and unbonded hotels direct on the internet – this is always a worry as you are not under an ABTA or ATOL bond. 
We can offer an insurance when booking with us that will cover you should anything like this happen again. The small sum payable is surely worth the peace of mind. All our clients who had flights with XL are currently being reassigned alternative flights at no extra cost, or claim forms completed if they had flights with Freedom, thus taking the hassle away from them! Most importantly they will receive a full refund to enable them to rebook.
This is a quote from one of our tour operators re the recent collapse of XL holidays:
“The last 4 days have been very testing times for everyone in the travel industry. Having resolved the immediate issues of last weekend, we have now turned our attention to the days and weeks ahead. I am very proud to say that so far we have managed to continue with all holidays as planned and, as per the 1992 package travel regulations, it has not cost our passengers a penny extra. All our customers, who were due to fly back from Greece, came back in to the UK on the date they had originally booked and all customers due to depart from the UK, are now in resort.
There has obviously been some disruption but all our customers have been very appreciative of the alternative arrangements that have been made. Looking forward to the next few days, we are not expecting to cancel any flights but, as I am sure you will appreciate, it is taking time to organise alternative aircraft”
We can book any flights whether low cost, charter or scheduled so don’t hesitate call us or recommend us to family or friends. We pride ourselves in being your local Independent Travel Agency employing well travelled knowledgeable staff. Please call us on 01925 269290 for a quote, pop in for a coffee and a quote or if not possible to come in during working hours ring for an out of hours appointment. Remember we are wedding specialists and can arrange weddings/honeymoons and renewal of vows.
