Travel Guide

There is nothing like heading off the beaten path when you travel, but lets be honest for a moment, some of greatest places in the world are not in the best neighbourhoods. This is no reason to cancel your plans and abandon your trip. Aside from being careful and taking a few extra precautions, travel insurance is a must. Here are a few reasons why packing your policy is as important as packing your passport.

1 – Theft

Pickpockets and bag snatchers are common where ever large crowds gather and tourist hotspots are no exception. Getting your bag nicked or your wallet stolen while you are at home is a big enough inconvenience but when you are in the middle of nowhere, the inconvenience and expense increases dramatically.  Even a budget travel insurance policy will cover your expenses if you lose your personal belongings or if they are damaged.

2 – Accidents

Accidents happen no matter where you are or what you are up to. Personal liability clauses in insurance policies protect you from the financial consequences if a liability claim is lodged against you. If this seems highly unnecessary to you, have you considered what might happen to you if you have an accident in a rental car? Accidents like this are common when you are in strange culture in a new place and insurance will give you peace of mind for those ‘just in case’ events.

3 – Illness

It’s more or less guaranteed that as you travel will you get sick. Your body is not accustomed to the bacteria and viruses to which locals have built up a resistance. Medical bills, including hospitalisation or emergency dental work, can be astronomically expensive and having an insurance policy is a must in this case.

4 – Cancellations

Flights get cancelled. So do buses and trains. Travel arrangements come undone from time to time and travel insurance is a good way to protect your self from any financial repercussions. Similarly, if you are faced with an extended delay you will be eligible for help to cover hotel and food bills. Travel insurance will also cover the costs if you have to cut your trip short for a family emergency.

5 – Medical Repatriation and Support

One of the great advantages of travel insurance is 24-hour telephone support during emergencies. This service can offer medical and legal advice, help you with lost documents or baggage and get a message to your family in a crisis. Furthermore, they can arrange to get you home if you fall seriously ill or are injured. Medical repatriation can cost tens of thousands of dollars so travel insurance is a must if you heading off the beaten path.

While it’s unlikely that you will need to be flown home with a nurse at your side you may very well become ill or have a flight cancelled. Travel insurance cannot prevent bad luck from disrupting your travels, but it can help you get back on track. Safe Travels!

Are you thinking about your next vacation? Have you figured out how to get to where you want to go yet? Most likely you’ll travel by air. It is no doubt the fastest mean of transport available. But first, you’ll have to get a flight ticket. Searching for a flight is in my opinion one of the most annoying and time consuming activities online. There are countless websites, each offering different airlines and prices. Everyone, who’s searched for a flight online, would confirm how hard it is to find a good deal.

Let me share my little piece of advice that could make your life a bit easier. I have come across a website that does the job for me. Open WhichAirline.com, enter the desired point of origin/departure, pick the dates and watch the magic happen. I have searched for a flight from Atlanta to Chicago for example. The results will start popping up in a moment. Look through them, filter out those you don’t want and select the one that you find the most suitable for you. You’ll be presented several booking options for that particular flight. I loved the simplicity and speed of the process.

And there’s even more. I found out WhichAirline.com has quite well maintained airports and airlines database. You can look up useful info about the airport you’ll be flying to. I used it to rent my car and search for a suitable hotel for my next trip. And while you are there, check out the tab called “Destinations”. The name is pretty clear, an interactive map of all destinations is what you’ll find.

Quite often I notice the site has changed from my last visit. That’s a good sign the developers are working hard on improving it. But with rapid development, bugs can hardly be avoided. They included a feedback form on the bottom of every page. I have used it a few times already. I recommend the same to you, you’ll help make WhichAirline.com even better.
