Protect your air tickets

TRAVEL-In the uncertain world of modern air travel, buying non-refundable tickets can be worrying. Luckily, for a small added cost, travelers can get their money back if unplanned circumstances interfere with the trip.

Travel insurance is inexpensive and provides reimbursement on tickets and other travel costs. Various plans are available to cover a wide range of potential problems.

For example, if you miss a connecting flight or cruise departure, some plans cover hotel costs and other expenses caused by the delay. Lost, damaged or stolen baggage may be covered throughout a trip, not just at the airport. If a snowstorm, car problems or a life emergency make it impossible to get to the airport at all, travel insurance may cover a cancelled trip-making it easy to get your money back on those "non-refundable" tickets after all.

Travel insurance can be obtained through any travel agent or through aaa.com. If the trip is already booked, you can still purchase travel insurance whether you booked with the agent or not.
