Booking a travel programme with the Global School Alliance, you’ll enjoy financial protection from the moment you book your school trip until your safe return. Remember, if you book your educational trip directly with an airline, you may not have the same level of coverage.
Travel services sold by Learning Unleashed Ltd, trading as the Global School Alliance, are fully protected by ABTA & ATOL, on behalf of Travelosophers, and benefit from their ABTA (P8318) & ATOL (0891) membership.
What are ABTA and ATOL and why do they matter for school trips?
ABTA (Association of British Travel Agents) is the UK’s largest travel trade association, and it plays a significant role in ensuring that school trips are safe, secure, and well-managed. When a school trip provider is a member of ABTA, it means they are committed to maintaining high professional standards set by the association. For school trips, this membership offers reassurance to schools, parents, and guardians, as it indicates that the provider follows a strict code of conduct and meets the regulatory requirements.
ATOL (Air Travel Organiser’s Licensing) is a UK government-backed scheme that provides financial protection to consumers who book package holidays or flights. For school trips that involve air travel, ATOL is an essential form of protection, ensuring that if the travel company goes out of business, parents and schools won’t lose the money they’ve paid for flights and related services.
