Some travellers could find themselves unprotected amid ongoing airline strikes
Those planning to go on holiday may want to double check their travel insurance, as many may not realise that not all policies cover cancellations caused by strikes. This comes as workers walk out from leading airlines including Ryanair and BA.
Airlines are required by law to refund a cancelled flight, however this is not the case for hotels and other holiday bookings that you may have made. The consumer group has urged holiday makers to look closely at travel insurance policies, making sure that it features strike cover. The report did, however, find that two-thirds of policies offered what they considered to be ‘Superior’ level Covid cover which covers the first three points outlined but not the fourth wherein the FCO change their rules.
ATOL protected package holidays will also be fully reimbursed, even if the company goes out of business due to or during the disruption that caused the cancellation. Additionally, if you purchase with a credit card, your provider is legally bound to reimburse you for any purchase over £100 if services provided are not as advertised, and the company won’t refund you, advises the consumer brand.
