Booked a holiday for me, DH and DS11 & DS13, as well my my parents both age 61. Booked it in December but only booked travel insurance last week. Went for a pricy one advised by Martin Lewis.

My best mates birthday is 13 March and my dads is 16 March. I have mixed them up before I don’t know why. When I booked insurance I accidentally said his birthday was the 13th. I even rang him up and got the kids to sing happy birthday. Felt sick when I realised I had ballsed up. (He didn’t care, just when I realised I had given his wrong birthday to insurance). Planned to ring up the insurers to change it this morning as I had a manic day yesterday.

But Today I heard from JET2 that flights to Gran Canaria are cancelled. The hols not til end of April.

Will they still honour the insurance if I need to claim? I’m hoping the holiday might still go ahead as it’s 6 weeks away, but who knows. Feel like such an idiot. I’m frightened to call them and change his DOB incase they say he isn’t covered. What a twat I am.

Does anyone have any experience of this??? Thanks in advance

No but calm down . Sounds like a genuine mistake. Loads of people make mistakes. Just phone them up and explain the situation.

Thanks for that. Always imagine insurers are ready to pounce on anything to avoid paying out! Will call them Monday x
