I didn´t know this Illegal not to get an ATOL cert probably because I generally book each part of my holidays separately but it makes interesting reading for those who use Travel Agents and Tour Operators.

I agree with Which? Get the airlines into the scheme as well.

Would you have some cover if you paid for the flights by credit/debit card??

When Globespan airlines went bust we had to download an online claim form. It took a while but we got our money back, but I think that was because that airline was ABTA bonded. We re-booked with Ryanair and got it even cheaper! Result!
Result!

Everyone want to save money during travel and I think travel agents have some cheap deals but make sure they are professional. When I want to travel, first I check online deals than contact travel agent, if he has some concession then hire him.
