Saga to cover airline failure
Saga Travel Insurance has introduced extra protection to cover scheduled airline failure.Â
The additional cover is being included as standard to its polices which are aimed at over-50s travellers.
The new cover provides up to £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: “In today’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.â€Â
