Travel company ceases trading after 9 years with flights and holidays at risk

Trav Expert Limited, operating as Best4trips, Travel Crew, and Air Waay, ceased trading as an ATOL holder on May 21. The company, based in Hounslow, London, offered flights and holidays to destinations including Sydney, Maldives, New York, Dubai, Barcelona, Bangkok, Amsterdam, Auckland, and Barbados. ATOL is a government-backed protection scheme administered by the CAA, ensuring refunds if a company collapses. Travellers with ATOL-protected packages booked after May 21 should contact the airline to confirm validity; if valid, they may need to rebook and pay directly for some services. Those who paid Trav Expert directly by credit card are not eligible for ATOL refunds and should contact their card issuer or travel insurer.
