I am looking to book a holiday through Directholidays.co.uk, has anyone had any experience with them and would you recommend them?
I have noticed they are not ABTA registered but are ATOL, is this a problem?
Thanks

I have used them many times before and never had any problems.They are part of the My Travel Group.
Taken from their website.
2. FINANCIAL PROTECTION
The air holidays in our brochure and on our website are ATOL protected since we hold an Air Travel Organiser's Licence granted by the Civil Aviation Authority (the 'CAA'). Our ATOL number is 606. In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA will ensure that you are sent home to the UK as
soon as possible or will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us for an advance booking. For further information, visit the ATOL website at https://www.atol.org.uk. For accommodation only, ferry, rail and car holidays financial protection is administered by the Association of British Travel Agents:
our ABTA number is V2185"Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."0 -

I also have had a couple of great holidays. Recently seem like they are a bit overpriced though. Most holidays with Direct are also on Globespan now. Might save you a bit0
