ATOL-protected holiday - what does it mean and what does it cover?

Flights cancelled, accommodation closed, or your travel agent has gone bust? These are up there with the biggest nightmares any holidaymaker can face.

After months spent planning and saving for your perfect holiday, the last thing you want is for it to be ruined by delays and cancellations. That is why, if you book a package holiday with a travel agent, you should make sure it’s Atol protected.

Atol is a scheme created by the Civil Aviation Authority to protect customers’ finances. It means that if something goes wrong and their travel agent fails, you won’t lose money or get stranded abroad.
