    Hi all,

    I'm thinking of booking a flight with e-travel.ie to Indonesia. With all the uncertainty over travel agencies I'm a bit concerned. I'll be paying with laser because I'm booking for 2 and my lowly student credit limit won't get that high on my credit card. How secure is this in the event that e-travel go bust?
    I know e-travel send you your booking within a day or two of payment. Once I get this does it mean I'm confirmed on that flight even if e-travel do go bust?
    Thanks,
    Bio.

    Could you not transfer money from your laser to credit-card, and book using your credit-card after?

    Tried doing that with a flight to Ghana and it didn't work. I suppose it's worth another shot but I'm not optimistic.

    It will work if you transfer money onto your credit card. You have a credit limit and an available balance. The available balance will increase over the limit if you pay money onto it. Just wait a few days for the transaction to go through. Credit cards give extra security.
