I saw watch dog the other night about some travel companies insurance policy...?

I was wondering about alternative travel insurance. Whats available out there...

also does anyone know about long term med-insurance
for instance; do some credit cards have med-cover on them..? or is that just a rumour.

regards

Roseanne - what has travel insurance got to do with this thread!?

Barbara & Bernie - "We agree with you, Travel Agents make the prices up as they go along anyway".

Please don't confuse travel agents with tour operators!! We travel agents have nothing whatsoever to do with setting the prices - we just buy what the tour operators are offering at the price they are selling it to us at!

Re Airtours and Thomas Cook, it still has to go to the monopolies and Mergers Committee in Brussels but I expect this one will go through even though they will end up with a 52% market share. There is unlikely to be an impact on Corfu this summer but it inevitably meams less flights next year, or, more importantly, less flight-only seats on offer.

They were within a spit of doing the same deal with First Choice and their package holiday business is still up for sale so there is going to be a lot of consolidation in the market over the next 12 months, not all of it good for Corfu, I think.

A completely different subject, but if you shop at Tesco, Sainsbury or asda you'll find leaflets with details of Travel Insurance.

Likewise the post Office or your bank will be pleased to sell you some too, or even a good old fashioned insurance broker.

All will almost inevitably be cheaper than the Travel Agent or Tour Operators.

I don't think we all do just pay whatever the holiday companies ask and travel with them anyway.  They grumble that more and more people are travelling independently but that is partly a result of rip off prices and bad service.  I stopped ggoing on package tours in 1989 after I had a particularly bad experience in Spain and decided never again!  The success of ryanair, easyjet etc. shows a certain unwillingness to blindly follow the tour companies,
