[Travelandtourism] Travel Insurance

[Kevin]

I am happy to say that I have been fortunate during all of my travels to not have had any major issues but I have also purchased my fair share of travel protections. Anytime, I am booking a reservation for any of my customers, I ALWAYS suggest they at least consider looking into protecting their vacation. 
 Best Regards,

Good afternoon everyone,

    Not buying travel insurance was one mistake we made last year. You can 
bet we'll purchass it prior to traveling this year given what happened. Had 
we insured our belongings last year the insurance company would have covered 
the repair and replacement of the recording equipment that was damaged by 
Southwest Airlines. Live and learn.

Who's to blame for your stolen valuables?
Q. I took a trip from Amarillo to Cancun.  The flights were all delayed due
to weather.  I arrived in Cancun and my bag arrived on the following flight.
Somewhere from the time I arrived and when my bag was delivered my jewelry
was stolen out of my bag.  I had booked the flight through Expedia.  I filed
a claim with Expedia and have never heard anything.  I had about $3500 in
jewelry stolen from my bag. What recourse do I have?

A. Never, ever put valuables in you checked luggage! Expedia is not
responsible for your loss. If anyone is, it's your airline, but all airlines
specifically say they do not cover the loss of valuables such as jewelry.
Your only recourse is your homeowner's insurance at this point, but beware
they might increase your premium or refuse to renew your policy if you file
a claim. Always carry valuables in your carryon luggage. In addition to
homeowners insurance, premium charge cards such as the American Express
Platinum Card offer coverage for losses from both carryon and checked
luggage, and if you had bought travel insurance from a travel agent, you
might have been covered.
