Travel insurance

[MS2011]

Dear all

 

We are going to holiday next month and our package is not covered by insurance.

 

Heathrow faces strikes and we don’t know what will happen to our flights.

 

Can any one recommend third party insurance which will cover if any flight cancellations or airport strikes

 

Thanks

From what I can gather, if there are strikes planned for the dates you go away when you take out the travel insurance policy, then it would not be covered. But if you get the insurance today and the airport announce strikes tomorrow for the dates you fly...you would be covered. Is your holiday also ATOL protected?

 

I've used the Post Office and Avivia travel insurance before, though never actually had to call on them.

This.

 

Also read the small print in detail! Just taken out insurance on a holiday and before I paid I noticed that the insurance had three levels of cover which all excluded covid cover. That was extra.

 

The three levels all covered different things.
