Book with confidence guarantee

I’m considering a holiday, but I’m concerned about disruption. Is now a good time to book?

We understand that confidence is key when planning a trip. We closely monitor global travel conditions and review flight routings where needed.

At present, any potential adjustments relate only to itineraries that may have originally routed with Emirates, Etihad or Qatar Airways via the Middle East. All our other holidays are operating as normal, and we have lots of alternative airlines and routes available.

With our Price Promise, the earlier you book, the better the offer you receive. Paired with our Book with Confidence Guarantee, you can plan ahead safe in the knowledge that we’ll keep you informed and support you should circumstances change.

Is my holiday financially protected?

Yes. When you book with Distant Journeys, your holiday is fully financially protected through ATOL or ABTOT bonding. This means your money is secure and your travel arrangements are safeguarded from the moment you book, giving you complete peace of mind.

What flexibility do I have if plans change?

Our team is experienced in adapting arrangements where needed and will guide you through any changes, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident ahead of departure. If your tour can’t go ahead, you can postpone, switch or receive a full refund.

If my brochure shows flights via the Middle East, what does that mean for my booking?

Some brochure flight routings were published before recent changes to global airspace. Where this applies, our team will review the most appropriate flight options at the time of booking. If adjustments are needed, we’ll assess suitable alternatives and guide you through what may be possible for your chosen departure. Your safety always comes first. We follow UK government (FCDO) advice and, if guidance changes, we’ll talk you through the options available.

What support will I have before and during my holiday?

From your first enquiry to your return home, you’re supported by knowledgeable specialists who care about every detail.

While you’re travelling, you can enjoy your holiday knowing support is available if needed, both from our Head Office team and trusted partners on the ground – so you’re never on your own. We also provide a 24/7 emergency phone number, so if you need us while you’re away, you can speak to real people, based in the UK, at any time.

Why should I feel confident booking with Distant Journeys?

With full financial protection, flexible planning, ongoing support and careful monitoring of travel conditions, you can look forward to your journey with confidence. And with our Price Promise, booking early also ensures you receive the best available offer for your chosen departure.
