Holidaymakers planning on spending New Year’s Eve abroad may wish to check that their travel insurance covers them against the impact of predicted wintry weather.
With parts of central England already affected by snow, airline Jet2.com has issued an alert forecasting that the wintry conditions will spread northward over the course of December 30th.
This could impact on travellers planning to depart from airports in Leeds or Manchester as the airline anticipates that delays could occur as the heavy weather sets in.
Recent guidance from the British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA) could help to ensure that holiday insurance is effective in covering any such delays or cancellations that may occur.
Earlier this month, BIBA technical and corporate affairs executive Graeme Trudgill urged holidaymakers to consider travel insurance based on the level of coverage it provides and not on price – particularly if they have booked independently and are not covered by industry protection schemes.
