The failure of Super Break on Thursday (1 August) could leave agents out of pocket after it was revealed the operator “chose” not to protect accommodation-only bookings with Abta.

Abta has confirmed Super Break failed with about 20,000 forward bookings, which were mainly domestic or non Atol-protected bookings.


However, while flight and accommodation bookings are protected under the Atol scheme and other transport and accommodation bookings by Abta, agents were shocked to discover on Thursday evening Super Break had “chosen” not to protect hotel-only bookings with Abta.
