LONDON–(Marketwire – July 21, 2010) –  Cheapflights UK, the UK’s leading flight price comparison website and consumer champion, encourages travellers to carry on with their holiday plans by guiding them through their consumer rights to enable them to book with confidence. 

“There’s no denying travel hasn’t had an easy time of it this year what with airline strikes, volcanic ash, and now the collapse of yet another tour operator,” says Nadine Hallak, Travel Expert for Cheapflights.co.uk.

“While these events may have shaken up consumer confidence around booking holidays, travellers should not be discouraged. Knowing who to book with and what to look for when booking should provide the assurance needed to continue with their plans,” says Hallak. 

The website’s guide covers a comprehensive list of topics including:

• What to do in the event of bankruptcy
• Eligibility for financial compensation
• Reimbursement for added expenses caused by the crisis
• Additional payment cover for accommodation
• Travel insurance

The guide not only provides details of how to tackle various aspects of each situation such as how bankruptcy may affect a booking that has already been made and what happens if the traveller is already on holiday at the time of collapse, but also who to contact as well as contact information for the various scenarios.
