I think I know the answer to this but will ask anyway.... Do ICR take deposits on flight only bookings ?

Cheers.

I dont think so, I think the flights are paid in full. I just booked mine now, and paid via Mastercard, but there wasnt an option to pay a deposit, I think deposits are only for transfers and accommodation.

Its Aegean that requires the payment in full,some airlines you can just pay a deposit.

If you go to the high street and enquire, you may get to book flights for next year with only a deposit, but not totally sure.

I am sure John will be along soon and he should be able to help you more.

We do not take deposits for flights.

There is a very simple reason for this and people like Diane C can vouch for it also

When you book your flights they are covered by an Atol bond, Atol is simply an insurance company and will pay your money back so you can book another flight if your provider goes bust.

They wouldn't pay the people that paid a deposit on Globespan bookings when they went bust last year and only paid out the ones that paid in full.

We do not want the messing trying to explain to people if a flight company goes bust that they are not covered by Atol unless all the monies are paid in.
