If you just buy a single element such as a flight or accommodation or car hire, it isn't a package and is not legally required to be protected. If you have just bought a flight using Thomas Cook Airlines then you need to arrange insurance against their failure, worrying having just checked https://www.protectmyholiday.com which is usually a good source for this cover, they are no longer offering cover for Thomas Cook Airlines at all. That does not mean they are going to fail, just that you need to check your travel insurance cover very carefully indeed.
They were in a similar situation in 2012 and got out of it, I expect they will do so again.
Sound like packages and if so you will have been issued an ATOL certificate for each. This would give the necessary financial protection to you.
If it is ATOL protected - yes. So dont do a flight only booking.
We will be paying the majority through the vouchers and my father in law has suggested we should pay the difference on Credit Card for added protection which is sensible
I was just wondering if it mattered whose it should be? ie is it easier if the card used is from the lead person booking the holiday
