Hi there! 👋

I wanted to sit down and honestly tell you what makes booking with me a little different and why you can feel totally safe when you do.


Halls Travels is my own little independent business, but I’m not flying solo! I trade as part of The JLT Group, which honestly gives us the best of both worlds: you get me — someone who actually listens, answers your messages, and cares about your trip — plus all the backing, choice, and security of a big, well-established network.

Here’s what that really means for you: I’m not tied to just one tour operator or one way of doing things. If you prefer booking with a big name you already know? No problem, I can do that. If you want something a bit more “you” — a hand-picked hotel, a specific route, little extras that standard holidays don’t include? I can build the whole package myself for you.


And I promise — I won’t just shove the first option in your face. I’ll look around, compare what’s out there, and find the best way to turn what you’re dreaming of into something real.

🛡️ And here’s the really important bit: it’s NOT just ATOL

Most people ask me: “Are you ATOL protected?” — and the answer is yes, absolutely. But here’s the thing: when I put a custom package together for you, ATOL is only the start. You actually get four layers of protection all working together. Hardly anyone offers that, and it’s honestly what gives me peace of mind too.

Let me explain it simply — no jargon, promise:

  • ✅ ATOL — The one you’ve heard of. If things go wrong with your travel provider, you get your money back, or if you’re already away, you’re brought home safely. The basics, covered.

  • ✅ SFI (Supplier Failure Insurance) — Goes further. If your hotel, the transfer company, or any part of your trip stops trading? You’re covered. No losing money, no being stuck somewhere scrambling to pay twice.

  • ✅ SAFI (Scheduled Airline Failure Insurance) — Specifically for your flights. If the airline goes bust? This covers getting you there — or getting you home — without you footing the bill again.

  • ✅ PTRC (Package Travel Regulations) — This is your legal backup. It means your money is kept safe, your rights are clear, and everything I build is fully protected by UK law. Simple as that.


📋 So to put it plainly:

Most places give you one type of protection. When I build your custom holiday? You get all four. ATOL, SFI, SAFI and PTRC. Your money and your trip covered from every angle


💛 My promise to you

I started this because I believe booking a holiday should feel exciting, not stressful. You shouldn’t have to wonder if you’re covered, or feel like you’re just talking to a name on a website.


With me: you get personal care, endless options, and four layers of protection that mean you can actually relax before you’ve even left the house. Whether it’s a straightforward getaway or something totally one-of-a-kind — I’ll find the best way to make it happen, and I’ll make sure you’re looked after every step.

Why take chances elsewhere? Let’s build your perfect trip — safely, happily, and properly protected.


Got something in mind? Just drop me a message, fill out the enquiry form or call me on 0161 338 7257. — I’d love to hear about it and help you plan your next getaway! 😊
