"We are trialling a new payment system to try and make things a little easier on the purse strings.
"We pay the tour operators for the full deposit on the customer’s behalf. We can do this based on our strong financial standing built up through more than 20 years as a successful travel company."
The payment system will operate on holidays Directline Holiday package as well as holidays booked with other tour operators.
