Question for Lovjamaica about traveler's insurance

[Earthbiscuit]

Hi- I read on another thread about the trip you took when your FIL had a heart attack. I am glad he is well! I had a question: we are supposed to leave tomorrow and my aunt, who is my babysitter for my 5 year old has suddenly become ill. I am taking her to the doctor today. I didn't know if you knew or not if this is a covered reason for rescheduling our trip? Thank you so much!!

Depends on the type of insurance you got. You should read the policy and find out. If it was cancel for any reason then you are covered.

Wow! I am probably responding too late as today is "tomorrow".

It does depend on the type of insurance. I bought mine through USAirways - it was called cancel for any reason and it covered airfare fully refunded until day of departure. Hotel was a prorated amount within 2 weeks. We really considered re-scheduling but my MIL insisted we go.

For your sake I hope you found someone to watch your 5 year old. If you did go please enjoy yourself - I guarantee you your 5 year old won't know the difference with who is watching them.
