Does anyone know of anywhere you can book next years flights and just pay a desposit? Pretty much everywhere I know of is full cost up front, we've just booked again for September so don't really have the funds right now to be paying it all out. Would like to get some dates confirmed as we'll have friends coming out with us next May.

Thanks :)

one suggestion noodles is get a good % free deal on a credit card then you can pay up front be protected if anything should happen and pay it up each month worth a thought :D

Definitely the best option is the credit card

If you book a flight with a deposit only and the company goes bust then you are not covered by Atol as you only get the bond when the flight is paid in full

So how come I got my certificate at the time of booking? It is a package holiday though...
