We are primarily a lead generation website for holidays which are supplied by Independent Travel Agents from across the United Kingdom who advertise their offers on our site. As such, we are not an Independent Travel Agent ourselves and therefore we do not sell airfare tickets or holidays.

You can usually find the hand luggage restrictions for your holiday by checking the website of the airline you will be traveling with or contacting them directly.

Most airlines have specific rules regarding the size, weight, and number of items of hand luggage that passengers are allowed to bring on board. These rules can vary depending on the airline, the route, and the type of ticket you have purchased.

To find out the hand luggage restrictions for your holiday, you can visit the airline’s website and look for information on their baggage policy or carry-on luggage rules. This should provide you with the specific requirements for your flight, including the maximum size and weight of the bag, the number of bags allowed, and any restrictions on items that can be carried on board.

You can also usually find this information on your flight itinerary or booking confirmation, or by contacting the airline directly. If you are unsure about the hand luggage restrictions or have any questions, it’s always best to contact the airline directly for clarification.

There are national restrictions on what can be taken on a plane in hand luggage – make sure your bag is okay by checking the UK Foreign Travel Advice website: https://www.gov.uk/hand-luggage-restrictions

The name of the airline for your confirmed flights should be indicated on your flight itinerary or confirmation email provided to you by your Independent Travel Agent.

If you booked your flights through a travel agency or online booking site, the airline name should also be provided in the booking confirmation or itinerary they sent you.

You can also usually check the airline name by logging into your account on the airline’s website or the travel provider’s website where you booked the flight.

If you are still unable to find the airline name for your booked flights, you can contact the travel provider or airline directly for assistance. They should be able to provide you with the necessary information to ensure that you are able to properly prepare for your upcoming trip.

Most holiday packages will include return flights, but it depends on the specific package being offered by the Independent Travel Agent. It’s important to carefully review the details of any holiday package you are considering to ensure that you understand what is included in the package and what is not.

Some holiday packages may offer a variety of options for flights, such as different departure airports, airlines, or flight classes, and the price of the package may vary depending on the specific flights you choose. In these cases, it’s important to confirm which flights are included in the package and whether they are round-trip or one-way.

If you are unsure about whether a holiday package includes return flights or not, you should contact the Independent Travel Agent who is advertising the booking for you to confirm the details of the package. This will help ensure that you have a clear understanding of what is included in the package and what you may need to arrange separately.

No, not all flights are direct. The availability of direct flights will depend on the specific route and the airline the independent travel agent is using in their advertisements.

Direct flights are flights that travel from the departure airport to the destination airport without any stops or layovers along the way. This means that passengers remain on the same plane for the entire journey, and the flight typically takes less time than a connecting flight.

However, many flights may require one or more stops or layovers, especially for longer distances or less popular routes. These flights are referred to as connecting flights, and passengers may need to change planes or wait for a connecting flight at a different airport. The number and duration of stops will depend on the specific flight itinerary and airline.

Please check with your Independent Travel Agent for more details prior to confirming your booking.

In many cases, it is possible to pay a deposit to secure a holiday booking rather than paying the full amount upfront. The deposit amount required may vary depending on the package being advertised by the Independent Travel Agent and their preeferred suppliers, along with the type of holiday package, and the time of booking.

Paying a deposit allows you to reserve your booking while you plan and save for the remaining balance. However, it’s important to note that the deposit is usually non-refundable and may be forfeited if you cancel the booking or fail to make the remaining payment by the specified deadline.

The terms and conditions of your booking should specify the deposit amount required, the deadline for paying the remaining balance, and any penalties or fees associated with cancellation or non-payment. It’s important to read these terms and conditions carefully before making a deposit to ensure that you understand your obligations and avoid any unexpected charges or fees.

If you have any questions or concerns about the deposit and payment terms for your holiday booking, you should contact the travel provider or agent who made the booking for you.

No, myholidayabroad.co.uk is a lead generation website only, as such we only advertise the holidays on behalf of Independent Travel Agent who we work with. We will never ask you for payment for any reason, please ask your Independent Travel Agent for their payment requirements for your specific booking.

The deadline for paying for a holiday varies depending on the travel supplier and the type of holiday package you have booked. In general, the deadline for payment is typically outlined in the terms and conditions of your booking, and it’s important to check these carefully to ensure that you meet the payment deadlines.

For many holiday packages, a deposit is required at the time of booking to secure your reservation, and the remaining balance is typically due several weeks or months before your departure date. The exact deadline for payment may depend on factors such as the duration of your trip, the type of accommodation or transportation involved, and the terms of the booking agreement.

It’s important to make sure that you understand the payment terms and deadlines associated with your holiday booking, and to plan accordingly to ensure that you have sufficient funds available to make the required payments on time. If you have any questions about the payment deadlines or terms of your booking, you should contact the travel provider or agent who made the booking for you.

There may be surcharges for paying via debit card, but it depends on the policies of the specific merchant or service provider you are using. In some cases, merchants or service providers may charge a percentage-based fee or a fixed amount for debit card transactions to cover the cost of processing the payment. These fees may be listed as a separate line item on your receipt or invoice.

However, in many countries, surcharging for debit card payments is prohibited by law or regulated by the government. For example, in the European Union, merchants are not allowed to charge extra for debit card transactions. In the United States, surcharging for debit card payments is allowed, but some states have passed laws limiting or prohibiting this practice.

To determine whether there are any surcharges for paying via debit card, you should check the terms and conditions of the merchant or service provider you are using, or contact them directly to ask about their payment policies. It’s also a good idea to compare the fees and charges associated with different payment methods before making a payment, to ensure that you are choosing the most cost-effective option.

Paying for a holiday using two or more different cards is generally possible, but it may depend on the policies of the Independent Travel Agent and the payment methods that they accept. Here are a few things to consider:

1. Payment methods: Check with the Independent Travel Agent to see which payment methods they accept. Some providers may only accept one form of payment or may have restrictions on using multiple payment methods.
2. Payment split: If the Independent Travel Agent does allow split payments, you’ll need to determine how much you want to charge to each card. This may be a flat split (e.g. half on each card), or you may choose to charge certain expenses to one card and others to the other card.
3. Fees: If either of the cards you are using charge a foreign transaction fee, make sure you take this into account when deciding how much to charge to each card. It’s also a good idea to check if there are any additional fees for using multiple cards.
4. Security: When making a payment with two different cards, it’s important to make sure that both cards are secure and that you are not putting yourself at risk for fraud or identity theft. Make sure that you are using secure payment methods and that you are not sharing sensitive information with anyone who should not have access to it.
5. Finanical Protection: Your card provider may only cover the amount you placed on their card, as such you may be recover all of your funds if they are split between multiple cards, check with your card providers terms and conditions.

Overall, paying for a holiday with two different cards is possible, but it’s important to check with the Independent Travel Agent and consider all of the factors involved before proceeding.

We have recently activated a new feature in our site that prompts  all Independent Travel Agents to advise the expiry date of their advertisements.

Although the age range for children sits anywhere between 0-17 years, the reality is that child ages and fees vary from supplier/supplier. To obtain an exact price, or more information on what the maximum child age applicable to any prefrred booking, you will need to go through to the advertisers website or, what we recommend is you contact the Independent Travel Agent who is advertising the holiday as they can advise you accordingly. As a guide, infants aged up to 2 on the day of return will be subject to a fee, however 2 and above could pay anything up to a full adult price. However, it’s important to note that policies may also vary between airfares, travel and even accommodation providers, and it’s always a good idea to check the specific policies before booking.
