Travel Insurance recommendations ?

I would imagine it depends if the insurance covers it or it's an exclusion. Try a few of the big insurer websites and look at the details of what's covered.

When booking flights directly with the airline, you might want to look at insurance with schedules airline failure.

Which.com have a list of recommended insurers here, including those with strike cover www.which.co.uk/money/insurance/travel-insurance/travel-insurance-unexpected-event-cover-reviews-an6s51j2p0fb

I would call some of the insurers that you’re interested in from the Which list. For example, my husband has just been referred for an MRI and therefore ‘under medical treatment’ when we completed the online forms. However, when we telephoned the company (Tesco) the woman asked us a few questions and a note was added to the account about the MRI scan but we weren’t charged any premium. If we’d have done it online, we would have been as the clauses are all generic.

I imagine that when you call the company, they’ll tell you that it’s fine as strike dates haven’t been announced. They’ll want to stop people getting insurance AFTER dates have been announced. Similar to how the RAC won’t let you receive roadside service for a certain number of hours after joining them.

Whoops. Just seen you didn’t want to phone any. I do think speaking to someone will reassure you - or maybe see if the website has an option to do an online chat with an advisor. That way, you can screen shot the conversation for ‘evidence’ should you be affected by a flight, and can just close the conversation if you get a hard sell.

@peridito sorry only just seen your comment to me on your previous post. We are insured through Direct Line as an extension of our home insurance. They have been fantastic so far.
