The increased risk of terrorist acts in recent times has made it necessary for the travel insurance industry to clarify its position. However, you will find that very few companies provide any form of cover for the victims of terrorism or war – and that applies to medical treatment and repatriation costs as well as cancelled flights.

In some instances, as an act of charity, the airline company that you have booked with may offer you a refund or a change of destination, if your flight is cancelled due to a terrorist incident. It doesn’t have to - so be prepared to bear the cost yourself.

If you found yourself stranded without sufficient funds to get home, the best advice is to contact the British Embassy.

For more information and regular up dates about any destination under the threat or subject to an act of terrorism or war, get in touch with the Foreign & Commonwealth Office.
