Flight brokers are
essentially online travel agents. They allow you to book flights, hotels
and car hire, often giving extra discounts if you combine them. Plus,
you get extra protection for combination bookings.
For bookings
since 1 July, if you book a flight plus separate hotel or car hire
together from the same travel website in the same transaction, you get
full ATOL financial and legal protection, just as with a traditional
package holiday (ie, you're covered if a firm goes bust or you don't get
the holiday you paid for).
If you book these elements from the
same site in different transactions but in the same website visit,
you'll get limited protection (so you're only protected if the firm
organising your package goes bust, in which case your money's protected
and if you're already away you'll get home).
For other bookings, including if you book from the same site in separate visits, you won't get package holiday protection.
