Travellers are being advised to take care ahead of a summer of predicted disruption

Holidaymakers are being warned that their travel insurance may not cover strike disruption. Which? has found that four in 10 policies do not cover travellers for strikes by airport or airline staff.

A spokesperson said: "Of the 199 policies the consumer champion examined, fewer than one in 10 offered what it considers to be ‘Complete’ protection in the event of a holiday being disrupted by Covid. This means that travellers can claim for emergency medical care if they catch Covid while abroad, and have the option to claim cancellation costs if they test positive for Covid before their trip.

"Likewise, package holidays from an ATOL protected firm will ensure that you’ll be reimbursed should the company go out of business and repatriated if it happens while you’re abroad. “Which? analysis of 199 policies shows that levels of cover can vary wildly in important areas like disruption caused by strike action or Covid.
