Cancelled holidays not all bad

Primary Insurance has launched two new policies to help sunseekers cope with sudden flight cancellations and delays.

Its Leisure and Frequent Traveller policies cover cancellation up to £3,000 and scheduled airline failure also up to £3,000.

Travel delay is covered for £20 for the first 12-hour period and £20 for each additional 12-hour period up to £300. In addition, abandonment is covered up to £3,000.

Primary's marketing manager, Simon Redgrove, said: “In the event of the customer experiencing delays, a way to reduce stress is to make sure that, at point of sale, they know what they are, and what they are not, covered for.”
