Why Booking a Package Holiday is Safer & Smarter Than Booking Separately

In the era of DIY travel planning, many believe booking flights, hotels, and extras separately saves money. But did you know that a package holiday offers more protection, less stress, and often better value?

Here’s why choosing a booked package is the smart move:

Financial & Legal Protection – Package holidays fall under Package Travel Regulations, meaning you’re covered if anything goes wrong (delays, cancellations, or changes). When you book separately, you carry all the risk!

ABTA Membership Matters – Booking through an ABTA-bonded travel agent ensures you have support in case of problems. ABTA protects you if a provider fails and offers expert guidance when things don’t go as planned.

ATOL Protection for Flights – If a tour operator goes bust, ATOL ensures you don’t lose money or get stranded abroad. Separate bookings often don’t include this safeguard.

Stress-Free Planning – One booking, one price, one point of contact. No need to juggle multiple confirmations or chase refunds from different providers.

Better Deals & Perks – Travel agents have access to exclusive discounts, added extras (like airport lounges or transfers), and flexible payment plans.
