In total, the ad will be carried in 28 papers with a total circulation of more than two million.
The ad, created by Siren, carried the strapline: "When it comes to having a great holiday, don't leave anything to chance." And it goes on "ABTA members have been looking after British holidaymakers for the last 60 years, come rain or shine - or even the odd Icelandic volcano."
"Book with an ABTA member and you're guaranteed expert advice and unrivalled help in times of trouble. ABTA members helped thousands of customers get home during last month's travel chaos. It wasn't easy, but we did it together."
