URGENT! Do I use paypal or credit card for flights?

I have the choice of paying by credit card at £20 extra - is that £100 for 5 passengers - or paying by Paypal. Do I get the same protection from Paypal as I would from credit card payment?

I never booked a flight before, and it's a bit scary!

Better to do it by credit card. Should anything go wrong, then the credit card company should stump up. By paypal it comes straight out of your bank account.

Credit Card then you are protected.

Can I link my credit card to the paypal account? If I can, that would provide the same protection, wouldn't it?

I would stick to credit card - if something goes wrong you would be dealing with Paypal not the credit card company directly and I'm not sure if Paypal are covered by the same consumer credit law that protects credit card purchases.

What do you mean £100 for 5 passengers though? You pay the credit card charge on the total sum of the flights, not per passenger, unless you are booking separately?

No - it just said the ticket service charge would be increased by £20 - so I wasn't sure if that meant per transaction or per passenger.

Have sorted it now though. Thank you all!
