Changes to ATOL

Probbaly more for VH than VS but people should be aware.

According to the BBC you should now be given a certificate telling you which elements of your trip are covered (or not)should things go pear shaped.

Ahh just noticed this.... oh goodie another piece of paper (or email) every time I fly....

Is a certificate really necessary though? Correct me if I am wrong but isn't there already a disclaimer on the website (or e-tickets?) explaining about ATOL protection? Saying that if the airline goes belly up and you have not yet travelled you get your money back and if stuck abroad you are repatriated. See, simple... one line even.. |:)
