Credit card payments and charges

Which payment cards do you accept for online bookings?

Take a look below at the payment cards that we accept for online bookings:

Debit cards
These cards are free to use online:

• Maestro (formerly Switch)
• Visa Electron
• Solo
• Delta

In all cases the cards must be issued in the UK.

Please note that if you are booking a flight only on http://flights.firstchoice.co.uk, the charge for using a debit card is £2.95.


Credit cards
You can also choose to pay online with the following credit cards, but please be aware that these may attract a charge (more on this below):

• Visa
• American Express
• MasterCard
  

In all cases the cards must be issued in the UK.

Is there a credit card charge when I book online?

Every time you use your credit card on our website, the credit card company charges us a fee. Unfortunately this means we have to charge you a credit card fee of 2.5% to cover the costs, which is added onto your booking at the payment stage. But if you want a way round this, then why not use your debit card? There are no handling fees on holiday bookings made via First Choice .co.uk with Maestro (formerly Switch), Visa Electron, Solo or Delta.
