Sadly we live in an age where terrorist attacks happen and can cause our travel plans to be disrupted. As such it is always best to understand the areas most at risk and plan accordingly. Checking the FCO website for further information will guide you on the 'at risk' areas.
If you are due to travel to an affected area you may wish to check the guidance from your travel insurance provider. In many cases there is no coverage for certain sections when a terrorist attack happens in the affected area. In some cases you will be covered for any medical costs that you may need. However you will not be covered should you decide not to travel to your destination if it is close to where the attack happened. You should contact your holiday company to establish if they can transfer you to another destination. Following that you may be able to transfer your Travel Insurance to a different area and date in the year. However we strongly recommend that you speak to your Travel Insurance provider at your earliest convenience to discuss your options with them.
Post Office is monitoring the development with Brexit. Until the details of our departure from the European Union are definite, we will be unable to advise on Travel Insurance cover. However we would always advise that our customers read the terms and conditions of their policy wording to understand the policy and it's cover levels.

Due to Britain's changeable climate we repeatedly experience periods of adverse weather. From heat waves to snow storms, we can never rely fully on the weather forecast when it comes to travel disruption. Make sure you check the details of your policy wording if the weather is looking unsettled.
Check your Airline's website for any updates if you are delayed.
