I'm happy to say that I've never owned a credit card before, but the
missus and I are planning to book a rather expensive flight and after our
last scrape with Easyjet going bust and almost losing our airfare, we have
seen

Easyjet?

the error of our ways and so would like the extra protection afforded by
credit cards (refunds, etc) in order to pay (we already have the money
saved up).
So, what's the cheapest and most hassle-free credit card to use in order
to pay the <£2000 airfare. As soon as the return flight has been used, I
intend to cancel the card straight away.

TIA



Look on moneysavingexpert.co.uk , (there is even a newbie section for credit
card users!), just make sure you get one with no annual fee.
If you want to make some money, get a 0% one and spread the payments out
over the next 9 months or so...that will also counteract the likely 2% or so
fee for using the card.
BTW, it can easily take a month to get a card so take that into account (not
sure when you will be booking your flight)
