Holiday insurance: Five Good Reasons Why You Should Buy Holiday Travel Insurance

There are many things that can happen when you are traveling. In most cases, the most unexpected things happen when you are least prepared for it. To protect yourself while traveling, you should get a holiday travel insurance before you go on a holiday. Never take things for granted. Always remember that it is always better to be prepared than sorry. To give you a better idea about the importance of holiday insurance, here are five good reasons why you should get holiday travel insurance before you go on vacation.

Travel Assistance

Comprehensive holiday insurance can help you find a new flight in case your flight gets cancelled at the last minute. Note that these unexpected flight cancellations due to unavoidable circumstances can drain you financial if you do not have any holiday travel insurance. If you are traveling on a tight budget, a last minute cancellation of your connecting flight can spell a disaster for you if you do not have any insurance.

Help In Retrieving Lost Luggage

Although most airlines are very careful when it comes to loading checked-in luggage, there are times when things simply get out of hand and your luggage gets lost. Losing your luggage during your trip abroad can be very stressful but if you have holiday travel insurance, your holiday travel insurance will take care of your lost luggage so you can go on your way and have a good vacation.

Replacement Of Lost Passport And Money

Most holiday insurance policies cover loss of passport and money during travel so you need not worry if your bag along with your money and passport gets stolen while you are traveling. In cases like these, the insurance company will facilitate the issuance of a new passport and will provide you with emergency cash which you can use during your vacation.

Ticket Refunds

There are some airline companies that do refund unused tickets. In cases where the airline company refuses to refund your unused tickets, the only way to recover the cost thereof is to file a holiday insurance claim. If you did not get any travel insurance, you might as well say goodbye to that hard earned money that you used to purchase your airline ticket.

Assistance During Medical Emergencies

Although you did not plan to get sick during your vacation, there are times when your body is simply too weak to resist certain types of diseases. Without holiday insurance, you could end up spending a lot of money on hospital expenses.

Cheap Air Ticket For Last Minute Travel

Planning a holiday getaway can easily turn into a stressful venture when the matter of costs comes up. Air fare by itself can kill the excitement. And when people already factor in accommodations, food, and shopping, or any other would just give up and stay home.

If you think on taking a vacation that requires any sort of wide planning, such as out of the country or worldwide even to a popular destination in a different state, it is probably going to be necessary for you to enlist the services of a travel agency.

 Try to find out which travel agency you are considering is helpful with.  Agencies with more extensive (think global) affiliations are more likely to be able to get you lower prices and added favors for your vacations. Keep in mind, however, that just because they are affiliated with a large group does not mean that the agency itself has to be bigger. Common knowledge would suggest that the bigger the agency, the easier it is to negotiate lower prices. 

At last, ask for references from the agency of both clients and dealers. Clients of course, are people like your self who have used the agency’s services to visit on vacations earlier. Dealers are the people with whom the agency deals in order to purchase  items such as hotel rooms and airline tickets, and will often have a clearer thought of how the agency operates and where or not they can do all that they claim as far as cost cutting and favors. So, how does lower cost or cheap air travel works exactly simple a solution.

Luxury Travel Vacations During High Seasons

You probably know people who have booked luxury vacations to places like Europe, Hawaii and the Caribbean at bargain prices. So how do they do it? They don’t travel during high season. You can save more than $1500 by not traveling during the summer, spring break season or Christmas. Unfortunately, there are a lot of travelers who are forced to travel in this season because it is the only time they can get off of work, school or other important commitments. Here are a few tips to keep you from losing your money…or your mind!

Avoid Traveling In June, July and August

Not surprisingly, these three months are the top travel months for luxury vacations. The kids are out of school, the weather is great and your work is giving you some needed R & R. But most countries in the world have vacation and school breaks during this time, so people all over the world want to get away. Airlines and hotels know this and charge outrageous prices for their seats and rooms. It is especially expensive in Europe, as Europeans have great weather and school breaks, and are willing to pay a premium to stay where they want. If there is any way for you to travel at a different time, do so. Putting your vacation off until September and October can easily save you thousands of dollars. Even May and April are cheaper than June and July.

Don’t Travel Internationally

If you can only take your luxury travel vacation during high season, stay closer to home. There are probably more luxury deals available to travelers who maybe choose Las Vegas instead of the Dominican Republic, and Miami instead of Mexico. Your domestic flights will be hundreds of dollars cheaper than if you were to fly to other countries. Plus, hotels, cruise lines and travel agents have a number of local deals available to people interested in traveling within the states. From Hawaii to Alaska, there are a lot of exotic and adventurous things to see and experience here in the good old USA.

Budget Accordingly

If you are traveling in high season, don’t expect to pay low season prices on luxury vacations. The prices you will find might be the highest you have ever seen because you had previously considered traveling during low season. Be ready to pay up to $1,500 per person for international air in coach class. Expect three star resorts and hotels in tourist areas to charge five star prices, and luxury hotels and resorts to go through the roof. One good suggestion is to book early to try to take advantage of early booking discounts.

Even luxury world cruises that begin in peak season are more expensive and more difficult to find availability. If you want to travel in high season, the key is to be flexible. Consider different dates, different destinations and different costs. Visit http://www.amtcruises.com for more luxury travel cruise informations. Book early and take advantage of early booking incentives. With these suggestions, you can get the best prices available for high season travel.

How To Improve Your Group Travel Experience

I took my first group tour this summer. That was a learning experience. Don’t get me wrong. I had lots of fun, but for someone who has always traveled alone, I had some “learning” to do.

First things first! Getting to know my co-travellers! This was easy and fun, cause our group leader organized several get-togethers way in advance, so we could get to know each other, and get all or questions answered. And there were many questions, like, where would we stay, where can we buy travel insurance, what should we bring, what will immigration and customs documents will be need! And more.

Then roommates had to be assigned, because it would be cheaper to share a room than to have your own room. So unless you were a family , you got a roommate. I got two roommates, and we really hit it off. One roommate was a die hard shopper, and the other was an eternal organizer. So between the three of us, we had a ball.

But I did have to learn to be patient. Our group was very diverse. We had kids, teenagers, and some older persons. So things did not always move as quickly ( or as efficiently) as when I travel alone.  We usually had to wait and make sure that everyone was accounted for before our tour bus could leave for the next stop. Hotel check-ins did not always go smoothly, but once we got settled the rooms were comfortable.

The key to enjoying group travel is to be patient and to be considerate. Be flexible and tolerant in order to accommodate others in the group, and do your best to stick to the itinerary schedule. Don’t show up at 7:30 when the Bus was scheduled to leave at 7AM. Take your sense of humor with you, and you will definitely have a good time.

Group travel is an excellent way to make new friends and to foster old friendships. If you want to spend quality time with your friends, family members, or business colleagues and enjoy a wonderful vacation experience at the same time, then I highly recommend a group travel tour!

Bringing Along Your Cellular Phone While Traveling

We all agree that the invention of the cellular phone has made our lives so much easier.  It has afforded us the convenience of being able to communicate with others while we are mobile.  The cellular phone enables us to make and receive important calls, send and receive text messages and some models even allow us to check our emails and store important documents functioning more like a personal digital assistant.  It is no wonder that majority of the people nowadays have their very own cellular phones and they even bring it along with them on their travels be it locally or internationally. 
	
If you will be traveling abroad with your cellular phone in tow, you need to let your mobile phone operator enable your phone for international roaming.  This process may vary among different operators but it usually takes only a short while and usually after 24 hours your international roaming service will already be activated.  When you will be availing of this service, make certain that you clearly ask your operator how much you will be charged for call and text services.  Be in the know if you will be charged for calls and messages that you will be receiving when you are out of the country because certain operators even charge you for this.  So despite the fact that you may not have used your phone for calls or texts, you may have been receiving calls or messages that may shock you upon receiving your bill.
	
It would be best for you to buy a local sim card in your country of destination if you will be staying there for quite some time.  This would enable you to save more because call charges under international roaming services could be costly.  Though some operators actually lock your cellular phones to their network making you unable to use the sim card, you can find many local retailers who could unlock your cellular phone.  Just be careful though because certain operators would forfeit the warranty of your cellular phone if you have it unlocked.  
	
When traveling always have a copy of your cellular phone number and serial or IMEI number for you can never predict if untoward incidents may happen.  In case you will be a victim of theft, immediately report to your operator your mobile number and IMEI number to have them disable your phone.  Report it then to the local police authorities.  
	
When traveling with your mobile phone always keep it safe and avoid showing it off.
