    Morgan

    Asked on January 14th, 2024

    Could you explain shortly what the "ATOL scheme" means? Only for UK citizens? And what city of arrival in India would you suggest for this trip?

    Flights / Transfers
    Travel Support
    • Explore!OperatorWritten January 2024

      ATOL (Air Travel Organiser's Licence) is a scheme that protects travellers and their money if the travel operator they booked with ceases trading, before, or whilst they're on holiday. This means you will be able to claim your money back or continue your holiday and be repatriated. For this trip you'll need to arrive into and depart from Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (GAU) in Guwahati.
