Is My Holiday a Package Holiday?

You likely have a package holiday if you booked 2 or more travel services (for example flights and a hotel) for the same trip from one organiser, and the trip lasts over 24 hours or includes an overnight stay. source

Linked arrangements (services from different companies, paid separately) and independent bookings give you fewer rights, and foreign-based companies may not be covered by UK law. Report problems quickly and keep receipts. source

If you booked the hotel and travel together from one company, you may actually have a package holiday with much stronger rights. Check what you booked. source

The organiser is responsible for the travel services in your package, even if other companies provide them (Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018, regulation 15). You must tell the organiser about any problem without undue delay, and they must put it right within a reasonable time that you set, unless that is impossible or disproportionately costly. source

If a package organiser goes bust, check for ATOL, ABTA, ABTOT or BCH protection. Covered customers get a refund if they have not travelled, or a finished holiday and transport home if they are already away. source
