Holidaymakers who book online could get greater protection

Holidaymakers who book online could get new protections so they are not left stranded abroad or lose money if firms go bust.

New legislation would ensure the Atol protection scheme extends to passengers who books flights, hotels or car hire not sold as part of a package holiday.

The measures form part of the first Bill which will be debated in the Commons since the Queen's Speech.

From 2018, when holidaymakers book a flight and are then directed by the airline to a separate company to book accommodation within 24 hours, the holiday will be covered by a Government protection scheme.
