Financial Protection for school trips 

With NST, you have complete financial protection from the moment you book your school trip to your safe return home. 

Your trip is fully protected through ABTA and ATOL, and licensed by IATA too. 

Booking with a recognised school travel provider is the best way to protect parents’ money. If you book directly with an airline, you may not be covered. 

ABTA 

We are a fully protected member of the Association of British Travel Agents, the UK’s largest travel trade association. Our membership number is ABTA V0550. 

ATOL

ATOL is the protection scheme for air holidays and flights. We are licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority under the Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing (ATOL), licence number 3606. The Civil Aviation Authority recommends that all schools to get ATOL protection every time they book. 

Some (but not all) of our flights and flight-inclusive educational trips are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. You can view the cover provided for each trip on our website before making your booking. ATOL certificates will be provided for all bookings with ATOL protection, but only the parts of your trip specifically mentioned on the certificate are ATOL protected. Please see our booking conditions for more information.
