Package holidays

Thousands of UK holidaymakers in The Gambia are to be flown home after the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) issued travel advice amid rising political unrest.

Update 6 Nov 2013: All customers who booked Atol-protected holidays with Lowcostholidays before 1 November will keep their Atol protection, despite being told by the travel firm this would not be the case, the CAA has confirmed. The CAA says it made this move due to the lack of notice and information given to both it and customers about Lowcostholidays' move to Spain. Lowcostholidays bookings made from 1 November onwards will not be covered by an Atol certificate.
