Q: What is travel insurance? Why should I buy it?

A: Travel insurances are packages of insurance coverages and travel assistance services and provide comprehensive travel protection for you and your family before and during your trip. Expected incidents can occur and often do occur before or during your trip that would cause you financial loss. You need to buy travel insurance to protect you against the unexpected.

If you have already paid for your trip, full or partial, and you need to cancel the trip or return home early by interrupting the trip, travel insurance provides trip cancellation and trip interruption coverage for the pre-paid and non-refundable portion of your trip for a covered reason.

If you get sick or injured while traveling abroad, most domestic health insurance plans provide little or no coverage outside the coverage area. Medicare ... Read more »

#You Have No Prayer of Getting a Cheap Flight for the Holidays

Related

Everyone knows that booking early is the only hope travelers have to avoid paying through the nose for holiday flights. This year, the price of booking at the last minute may be higher than ever.

The traditional approach to getting the best prices on holiday flights has been to book early. Based on years of data, Hipmunk. CheapAir. and other flight search sites say that travelers hoping to fly around Thanksgiving and/or Christmas will generally snag the lowest prices by closing the deal 60 to 90 days ahead of time — in late summer or the weeks after Labor Day. Fluky sales do sometimes pop up later in the fall, but for the most part, travelers can expect prices to rise steadily as flights fill up and the holidays creep closer.

While it may be true that fliers who ve booked early have gotten the best deals, the holiday flights booked thus far haven t exactly been cheap. The Wall Street ... Read more »

#Why Only Some Airline Tickets Are Falling With Lower Oil Prices

NEW YORK (TheStreet ) -- For most consumers a collapse of oil prices equates to lower prices for everything from the cost at the pump to the food on your table. Since fuel is the largest single component in the price of an airline ticket, would-be travelers may be wondering why ticket prices haven't fallen further.

The fact is that passengers may not see a precipitous fall in airline prices for months to come -- if at all. The reason for this apparent disconnect is most airlines can't afford to lower ticket prices due to losing huge bets they made on fuel prices months ago.

To understand this situation, we must travel back to late 2007 when the housing bubble was near its peak and oil prices spiked to all-time highs, forcing gas and jet fuel prices to skyrocket higher. The United States Oil Trust ETF (USO ) was just north of $116. These days, it's under $22 a share.

Most airline ... Read more »

#Why Car Rental Companies Ask For Flight Number?

Why Car Rental Companies Ask For Flight Number?

If you have ever wondered why car rental companies ask for your flight number, here is why. They have a high overhead. They spend a lot of money on their offices and their rental cars. In order to be profitable they need to rent their cars as often as possible.

When you give a car rental company your flight number, you are telling them exactly when you will arrive. They will be able to coordinate their rental schedule so that they can rent the car as long as possible. They will not need to have the car in the lot all day if you are not arriving until four p.m. Rental companies have more scheduling to do than you realize. They even need time to clean the car between renters. Depending on how clean the previous renter was, this can take anywhere from a few minutes to more than an hour. The whole schedule can change based on when you need your car. If your flight is delayed, yo ... Read more »

#Travel advice from the airfare watchdog

These days, with money so tight my trip planning process always starts with a hunt for a deal. I'll bet you have your favorite websites to check first for flight specials. George Hobica hopes one of them is AirfareWatchdog.com. He founded that site 15 years ago to help connect travelers on a budget with the best airline buys. George joins us to talk travel deals and answer some of your trip planning questions.

Is it easier or harder to get an amazing discount on a flight now compared to 15 years ago?

"The reason we started AifareWatchdog was because it was easier to find fares if you knew where to look. What happened was when there were more airlines, there was more competition. We would see many unadvertised airfare wars, where some fares would go down to $88 roundtrip coast to coast. Delta would attack Northwest, Northwest would attack Delta. Of course, now they are the same airline, so that doesn't happen so much," says Hob ... Read more »

#Travel Insurance Cancellation Cover

Holiday insurance cancellation cover is usually included as standard with travel policies, and can provide a considerable benefit to those who may be unable to travel once they have booked their holiday.

It is one of the key costs that insurance protects against, along with overseas medical expenses, personal liability and baggage.

Generally speaking, cancellation travel insurance pays out up to 1,500 (some premium policies will pay up to 5,000) if your trip is cancelled or cut short due to reasons specified in the policy.

Equally, if you cancel an inclusive package, then the travel provider may offer a partial refund and the insurer will cover the rest.

But remember that every insurer has different terms and conditions - making it vital to read the small print on your cancellation travel insurance policy.

When will cancellation cover pay out?

There are certain circumstances where holiday insuranc ... Read more »

#R travel

This thread is for y'all to do things like:

I honestly feel that enough is enough. I've been dependent on my parents for the longest time now. Whether the issue be money, credit cards, and travel, I always have to rely on them.

During highschool I rarely made friends and just focused on education. I'm definitely social and outgoing but if I get invited to parties or what not, I reject in the fear of judgment, or if I had to dance (which I can't), etc.

Only recently I realized I'm not going to be a teenager anymore. Ill turn 20 next year and feel like I'll miss out on everything! I've only been to the beach a hand full of times, I don't even know how to ask for food in a restaurant because I just over complicate things.

Now after reading that, you'll probably realize that I just want to grow up already. I went on a 2 month trip recently but wasn't alone since I had family with me. I did make friends from the family and go places, but only und ... Read more »

#Travel Channel retraces Sherman - s March to the Sea

Brian Unger. host of the  Travel Channel’s new series “Time Traveling with Brian Unger,” takes a look at Union Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman s March to the Sea in the episode scheduled to air at 10 p.m. tonight.

This 1868 engraving by Alexander Hay Ritchie portrays a moment from Union Gen. William Tecumsah Sherman s March to the Sea. Union soldiers are shown destroying telegraph poles and railroads.

When you physically retrace someone’s footsteps it begins to pack an emotional punch, Unger said. The soil in the South contains so much suffering and tragedy. Sherman’s March ended up being a very emotional story for us.

Here s a preview:

Last year marked the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Atlanta, which preceded the March to the Sea. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution created an extensive, interactive digital presentation at the time. The link is here.
