[You can book tickets with LH under a Fly&Drive or Fly&Stay tour operator package and only pay 30 days before travel. However in this case you get an invoice from your TA and the risk of bankruptcy or non performance moves someplace else. I do this for 70-80% of my longhaul Y flights, especially to the US. This is a nice example: http://www.fairflight.de/rundreisen-...ve-usa/florida

Here the operator asks you to pay 15% upfront, and the rest about 4 weeks before departure. I normally book thru FTI, and not this operator.[/QUOTE]

However in that case your funds are insured as per Sicherungschein. If you are not recieving this then you need to query this since it required by law.
