Explained in plain English

Who protects my holiday?

In the UK, many package holidays are financially protected, often through schemes like ATOL (Air Travel Organiser's Licence). This protection ensures you get your money back or can complete your trip if the travel company goes bust. It's crucial to check if your booking with Firefly Holidays had this protection.
