Heathrow, the world’s busiest international airport, yet again faces the threat of a strike. This time the strike can hit air travellers during the busiest time of the year-Christmas.

With the air ticket prices rocketing during the Christmas period, it is the passengers who suffer the most. Having paid extra premiums, they are left with all this uncertainty on top. Sleeping on a floor at the airport is not a tempting alternative should your flight be cancelled or delayed.

Though BAA is ‘working hard to resolve this issue’ stating that their priority is ‘to ensure there is no disruption to our passengers and their travel plans’, the high risk of a strike is there and if you do travel during Christmas, think carefully what you can do to minimize your stress and potential financial loss.

That is why getting correct travel insurance shouldn’t be a last minute thought, especially if you require senior citizen (over 65) travel insurance or medical travel insurance. Cover My Travels aims to help you reduce time spent planning your trip and offers an easy online travel insurance quote facility.
