A question about flight delays/cancellations and getting another flight?

Travel Cancellation Insurance | Posted by admin
Jan 10 2010

I’m flying to Washington DC on thursday out of Birmingham International via Amsterdam. We have heavy snow right now and lots of airport delays.

My flights are booked through a travel agent and it’s all booked through as one trip, so my question is, if my flight from Birmingham is delayed because of the weather and I miss my connection in Amsterdam, will they put me on another flight? In the event that they won’t, I have travel insurance, would missed flights due to weather normally be covered under this?

Is it worth buying the priceline travel insurance? Can you get a refund if you get sick prior to traveling?

Travel Cancellation Insurance | Posted by admin
Nov 21 2009

I am about to book flight & car rental through priceline. I have never purchased travel insurance so I have questions.

What illnesses qualify for cancellation insurance? I am concerned with the flues that are going around since I am going to visit my grandmother.

If you do get sick, how do you prove you are sick?

If you meet the above requirements, how hard is it to get the actual refund?

Please answer as much or as little as you can. Thank you for your help.

Cancel Airline ticket Due to late passport?

Travel Cancellation Insurance | Posted by admin
Aug 03 2009

i waited the 4-6 weeks for my passport and scheduled the flight 7 weeks after i applied. I still have yet to receive my passport and the useless people there won’t give me anymore info. I am supposed to leave sunday. i booked with besfares.com and purchased the travel insurance. However after reading the fine print, it SEEMS to me that the insurance only covers cancellations due to death, injury, or illness in the family. Otherwise i will be charged a rebooking fee. Am i reading this wrong? shouldn’t the insurance allow me to cancel without being charged? Please help!

Travel Insurance?

With all of the flight cancellations currently happening and the predicted continuation as they inspect the fleets, are there any travel insurance policies that cover this situation? Or, is this something that should it happen to me I will be at the mercy of how the airline wants to compensate?
I am aware that it refunds the money, not rescheduling my flight, I can read. My question concerns insurance for flights cancelled by the provider. What I have found so far covers flights cancelled due to inclement weather.

I’m having the worst experience with Verizon. Which carrier is best to switch to?

Travel Cancellation Insurance | Posted by admin
Jun 15 2009

I live in L.A. and travel frequently, so need reliable, low-cost wireless service. I'm willing to suck it up and pay the 5 early cancellation since Verizon has been a nightmare and a half with its high charges, I wasn't told about 15-day grace period to add insurance, so I missed deadline. I paid 0 one month when I went over my minutes (even though I'm a "Merits" customer, the rep didn't handle situation to my satisfaction.) AND I'm being given a hard time about insurance on new phone I bought. Help! Which is best provider and why?

I need flight flexability. What can I do?

Jun 14 2009

Hello, I'm trying to purchase a plane ticket that I might have to cancel in the future. Does anyone have any advice on purchasing plane tickets that I might need to cancel? What are my options? Could purchasing travel insurance from a 3rd party guarantee me a refund if I need to cancel?

Also, I've heard some airline companies such as US Airways, allow you to cancel your trip and with a fee, use the remaining balance towards a future flight. Does anyone know if at the time of cancellation one has to immediately book the future date, or can you call back at another time, say several months later, and use your remaining balance as credit for a flight when you are certain about the date? Thank you!

Travellers Insurance Question?

Travel Cancellation Insurance | Posted by admin
Jun 11 2009

Hello! I booked a flight and hotel through Expedia.co.uk but only booked four nights hotel for a seven night stay. I booked the additional three nights hotel through a different website.

I bought my travel insurance through Expedia.co.uk

Now… I may need to cancel my trip and I'm pretty sure the reason is covered under their cancellation. I've emailed them and am waiting for a reply to see if this is the case.

What I need to know is will the additional hotel nights that I booked seperately, be covered in the insurance, or do they only cover anything that is booked through Expedia?

Thanks!

Trip cancellation due to illness?

Travel Cancellation Insurance | Posted by admin
Jun 06 2009

Hello everyone- I booked a flight to Thailand back in December but bought insurance last month for the trip (via the same company I bought the flight from) because I couldn't afford it at the time I bought the ticket. It is now February and I'm having some health issues that may not be resolved before we depart in March. Question- will my travel insurance cover a flight cancellation if I need to make one since I bought it a month later? I could get a physician's note saying the illness started after I bought the flight & insurance. Also, my travel companion has not purchased travel insurance, if he purchased it now would it still apply for a flight cancellation in a couple weeks if we need to do it? I hope it isn't the case but better safe than sorry.

Which type of travel insurance do I need??

Travel Cancellation Insurance | Posted by admin
Jun 03 2009

I am going on a cruise in June and have purchased the air and cruise separate. The thing is that we are leaving out of NY @ 6am and arriving in Miami @ 1130am the day we have to leave for the cruise. (cannot reschedule the date we fly in) The ship leaves @4pm. With all the recent delays and cancellations of air carriers I am becoming a bit worried about 1.)trip delay that wld cause me to miss the cruise 2.) delayed or lost luggage due to a 2nd plane connection.

I would like to know if there is a specific travel insurance package that I can choose for the above. I have done some research and found that many state they will cover only if the delay is due to weather but what about if the carrier just decided to delay or cancel? Will they pay for my entire cruise if missed?

Can you recommend a good insurance company for USA travel?

Travel Cancellation Insurance | Posted by admin
Jun 02 2009

Hi, my mum is in Australia and on her way to the Bahamas to do some sailing (hard life..) and needs some travel insurance. Mostly medical cover for USA/world (I've seen SICKO by Michael Moore) and cancellation etc.

Can you recommend any companies/policies? She is 53. Is probably looking for annual cover as she will be going away again overseas (Asia) later in the year.
DCK – thanks for contributing, but as I mentioned, my Mum is here in Australia, so it needs to be a company that is based here (the place she is a resident as insurance policies will fly you back if needed, to your home of residence only).
In regards to SICKO, it was in referrence to the cost of health care in the USA, which if you are not insured, visiting or not, you have to foot the bills.
Also, she will probably get annual cover which covers you for several trips a year around the world.

My mum, brother and I are going to Greece in a few weeks (from the uk) and need travel insurance.

So far, the cheapest I've found is £25 for the three of us, from Columbus Direct. That includes most things but not cancellation.

Are there any cheaper companies? I've tried money supermarket, but their cheapest was £45
Are you two on commission?!

Can you recommend travel insurance agency for honeymoons? Flight insurance doesn’t cover hurricanes in Oct.

We're traveling to Canouan Island and Barbados in the first few weeks of October and we're routing through Miami. If travel insurance covers poor weather delays / cancellations, we would like to know where to get it so if we have to re-plan, we can without a major financial loss.

What illnesses are valid to cancel a trip?

Travel Cancellation Insurance | Posted by admin
May 18 2009

If a person bought travel cancellation insurance, what sort of illness would be a valid reason for them to cancel the flight and get the money reimbursed? If there’s a list I can refer to online or something that would be great.
Thanks :) .
***** I meant to add that the insurance company has a specific procedure regarding medical excuses in which they send a form that the doctor must fill out as proof of a medical condition that may interfere with flying. My question was if anyone knew all the conditions which would constitute an illness valid for reimbursement for the flight by the insurance company.

Do I really need travel insurance? What I really want is a concierge? Who do you recommend?

I am going on a hiking trip with my family. If I wanted to be medically evacuated back to the US, I would probably buy that insurance, but do I need the other things like trip cancellation insurance? Last time we went, our tour operator 'forgot' to book one of the rooms and we still got stuck with the cost and with negotiating the room with the innkeeper, so it didn't do us any good to have the insurance.

Is it worth buying the priceline Hotel Cancellation insurance?

May 14 2009

I am planning a trip to chicago with the name your own price feature. I will be spending in the neiborhood of 480-640 for a hotel for 8 days.

If the amount is 500 or over, should I consider the travel cancellation/interruption insurance? If I don't, I think I am stuck if I have to cancel for illness. Of course it is a vacation, so I would still go unless I had something devistating.
