UPDATED TRAVEL ADVICE AS OF 05/07/2022

Jackson Lee Underwriting – Holiday Travel Scheme

In light of recent travel disruptions, we’d like to highlight that this scheme does in fact cover Travel delay and abandonment (see Section 11) as long as they booked the trip and purchased insurance before any announcement of strike action. This section would either pay out a travel delay benefit of £50 for every 12 hrs up to £400 in total or client has the option to abandon trip and claim for irrecoverable costs of the holiday. Unfortunately, if you purchase the policy or book a trip after the announcement of such strike action, then there would be no cover.

General exclusion 13 p73, This policy does not cover:

Foreseeable circumstances

Any circumstances, such as Strike or Industrial Action, that were known or could reasonably have been anticipated at the time an Insured Journey was booked or the Policy or cover was purchased, whichever is later.
