Flight brokers are essentially online travel agents. They allow you to book flights, hotels and car hire, often giving extra discounts if you combine them. Plus, you get extra protection for combination bookings.

For bookings since 1 July, if you book a flight plus separate hotel or car hire together from the same travel website in the same transaction, you get full ATOL financial and legal protection, just as with a traditional package holiday (ie, you're covered if a firm goes bust or you don't get the holiday you paid for).

If you book these elements from the same site in different transactions but in the same website visit, you'll get limited protection (so you're only protected if the firm organising your package goes bust, in which case your money's protected and if you're already away you'll get home).

For other bookings, including if you book from the same site in separate visits, you won't get package holiday protection.
