Or did this happen to one of your travelling companions? Were you unable to travel and therefore also had to pay 100% cancellation fees? It’s a frustrating situation.
Travel cancellation insurance will cover any costs that arise due to cancellations or trip interruptions caused by illness, for example.
You can also take out additional accident, luggage and travel health insurance. These insurance plans can be taken out individually or as part of a package. Frequent travellers may also elect to take out annual insurance plans.
