The New York Times in a January article, "The Claim Before the Storm," called Squaremouth the best of several new sites where travelers can do some comparison shopping for travel insurance, and I agree. Others that also provide travelers with insurance information include InsureMyTrip.com and QuoteWrite.com. Before buying any travel insurance, check to see what sort of coverage your credit card company provides.
Squaremouth lets you compare insurance products and prices from more than a dozen carriers, including Air Ambulance Card, CSA Travel Protection, Global Rescue, Global Underwriters, HCC, HTH Worldwide, IMG, ITravelInsured, Medex, Travel Guard, Travel Insurance Services, Travelers Liberty, Travelex, TravelSafe and USA Assist.
And the answer to my friend's question is that while standard travel insurance coverage is not available for airline strikes, some travelers may be able to buy a travel insurance policy with the upgrade Cancel for Any Reason benefit. Cancel for Any Reason allows someone to cancel their trip without explanation. However, not all states allow the purchase of this product and travelers must purchase a travel insurance policy within 14-30 days of the initial deposit payment.

Oh, and to keep up with who's on strike where in Europe and beyond, EasyTravelReport.com and Europe-Airports.com keep pretty good running lists. Being prepared is the best insurance.

Wow. I visit your blog irregularly. I get from today's looksee you've really been turning it out recently! All of some interest to me and of course, well written. We have a daughter who we are trying to raise more toward the way described in the book you cite, we have an apartment in a small city in the Languedoc and hope it has appreciated some in the time we've owned it, and insurance is well, of interest by necessity. Be well!
Great! your blog is really informative and provided me the right information to buy travel insurance. After making a thoughtful comparison i was happy with Europe travel insurance i bought.
