Will easyJet go bust before November?
First, I doubt if Easyjet will go bust before November (though anything is possible in the current climate). However, the peace of mind afforded by booking with a credit card is hardly “extortionate” – the flight is still tremendous value compared to the traditional carriers of the 90’s (BA, Air France, Iberia etc). Unfortunately, as Easyjet do not pay commission to travel agents, you cannot follow the advice about ABTA/ATOL booking unless you are willing to pay a service fee to the agent.
