Saga to cover airline failure

Saga Travel Insurance has introduced extra protection to cover scheduled airline failure.Ã~

The additional cover is being included as standard to its polices which are aimed at over-50s travellers.

The new cover provides up to Ã&#pound;1,500 for each insured person, for the costs of flights paid in advance, or the cost of return flights to the UK if a scheduled airline goes bust.

This cover comes into effect for new Single Trip and Annual policies purchased from last week and annual travel renewals from January 25.

A Saga Group spokesman said: ââ¬ÅâœIn todayââ¬â¢s uncertain economic climate the savvy independent traveller needs to check if their insurance covers airline failure if they want to travel with confidence in 2009.ââ¬~Ã~
