Tripwrite – Travel Articles

Some people choose not to buy their travel insurance cover at the time of booking their holiday. According to the article “Swine flu concerns blight holiday plans” people who have booked their holidays independently without purchasing their travel insurance prior to the FCO alert are concerned they will lose all their money.

Insurance companies are unlikely at the moment, in the light of the new FCO recommendations, to provide travel insurance to Mexico now. In the event that your airline may not offer a refund especially if the plane is still scheduled to fly out to Mexico, you could contact your credit card company.

All future claims could be invalidated should you choose to ignore FCO recommendations and travel to Mexico at this point in time.

People who were due to fly out to Mexico later on in the year can cancel their trip in advance although passengers would be unlikely to get their money back. This is because the FCO could rule at any point between now and the future that it is safe to travel to the country. Why not approach your airline for an alternative destination instead?
