If the airline you've booked your flight with goes bust or collapses or fails, what do you do?

Travel insurance often won't provide cover for this kind of situation and your only recourse is to try to obtain compensation from ATOL or some other body to which the airline might have belonged. However, this can take some while and in the meantime, you want to be able to get away on your holiday!

Our travel insurance automatically provides cover for you, should the airline you've booked with goes bust.

What do we cover?

• Up £5,000 per person for irrecoverable sums paid in advance in the event of Insolvency of the scheduled airline not forming part of an inclusive holiday prior to departure or
• In the event of Insolvency after departure:
  • additional pro rata costs incurred by the Person-Insured in replacing that part of the flight arrangements to a similar standard to that originally booked or
  • if curtailment of the holiday is unavoidable - the cost of return flights to the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, Channel Islands or Ireland to a similar standard to that originally booked.

Full details will be sent to you with your policy documents. This cover is provided as part of our comprehensive travel insurance policy. There is no additional premium to be paid.
