XL Airways Collapse - by the Blog Travel Mole

The travel industry is still reeling with the collapse of XL Airways today. Being part of the biggest tour operator in Europe (TUI) makes Imaginative Traveller a far more secure business than most independent operators out there. We are not only ABTA bonded but also ATOL bonded so both your land package and your flights are secure – IF you book flights with us that is. We highly recommend doing this for a number of reasons outlined below.

In the meantime, our parent company First Choice is busy helping out stranded travellers around the world and we hope their situations are resolved swiftly with the least amount of stress possible. Holidays are very precious. Simon Calder, the travel journalist, believes travellers have, however, had it too good for too long with all these discounted fares and holidays. Imaginative Traveller does not believe in discounting as we believe we offer quality at the best price in the first place. Something to bear in mind when deciding on your next holiday……

Why you should book your flights with Imaginative Traveller

• Being licensed (ATOL 3986) we provide you with financial protection
• Access to directly negotiated rates with major airlines means cheaper and often more flexible fares
• Our in-depth knowledge of each tour and arrival / departure city enables us to book the most convenient connections to link up with your trip
• We can provisionally hold flight seats for you with no obligation to purchase. This helps to ensure that the price that we quote is the price that you pay. With many flights we can also accept a £100 deposit giving you more time to save for the trip of a lifetime
• We provide a full booking service. Airlines are notorious for making schedule changes or re-routings (and sometimes even cancellations) so if you experience a problem with your flight booking, we will deal with this for you
• Discounted domestic flight connections from airports within the UK are usually available in conjunction with your international flights. If you book a domestic flight separately to your international sector then you run the risk of having to purchase a new ticket should delays and missed connections occur
• We are a one-stop shop and thus the link between your flights and your tour should any difficulties arise
