At those moments we had to be on a plane on our way to Milan Italy for a
family winter vacation.
The planning was: first skiing in the Dolmites, the Masquerade Festival in
Venice and a little Milan to end the trip.
But I canceled this vacation. And just today I saw that the money came into
account.
How ?
I secured the vacation with a flight cancellation insurance called “trip geranti”
by Hafenix.
The insurance can be done within a week of purchasing the airline tickets and
then the flight can be canceled for any reason and you will get most of the
money back.
So what’s my story? Why did I buy this flight and why did I cancel?
The fact that I love capturing cheap flights and traveling the world is well
known,
This time I found a cheap flight, when EasyJet flight dates for the winter
opened,
I found a flight for the dates of the Masquerade Festival in Venice, at a cost of
NIS 1300 for 5 people !!
So-called: pennies!
And of course I did not resist and bought the tickets!
Since I booked the tickets a long time before the flight date, I preferred to
insure them for a few more pennies (10% of the cost of the tickets), because it
is impossible to know what will be until then.
And in the meantime, things changed, we flew to Paris in December and we
were too busy to add another flight at such a close time.
And the main reason for cancellation is:
Although airline tickets were very, very cheap, it all turns out to be very
expensive!
Accommodation, food, travel (in a rental car), skiing – all this for 5 people
comes out expensive.
An expense that doesn’t suit me at this stage of life,
When I’m still planning a summer outing with the kids.
So with a heavy heart and very much difficulty and after a lot of deliberation – I
decided to cancel the tickets.
I contacted Trip Grant, they explained to me which forms to send them,
I got all the forms, canceled the flight in front of EasyJet
(I didn’t find anywhere on their flight cancellation website, just make other
changes)
And I faxed all the forms they requested.
Immediately, I received my confirmation that the forms had arrived, and within
up to 30 days the money (80% of the cost of the flight) was already in my
account.
Wonderful service !!
Another thing I discovered in the case of the current Isigjet order:
If you are planning to take paid suitcases with you, you should book them as
soon as you book your airline tickets,
Because then the most lucrative price.
If you want to add suitcases later, the price is likely to go up!
So it was in this case anyway. I didn’t buy suitcases with the tickets, and the
price for a suitcase in the direction of rose …
On the other hand, if you are not at all sure that you will go on a trip –
purchasing a suitcase will be an unnecessary expense if the tickets are
canceled at the end.
Because on the Low Coast flights there are no refunds! Therefore, this
insurance exists and it is recommended to do so.
* I know it sounds like an advertisement, but it’s not. I wish I had something
out of it.
It’s just a positive experience I’ve had with this insurance and they deserve the
good word!
pay attention:
Apart from flight cancellation insurance, you should do regular travel insurance
in case of health (which I hope will not happen)
You can also insure a phone / computer you take with you for a flight.
