We have booked our holiday and have found out my wife is now pregnant so cannot travel at the time of our hol.

Question

my insurance say we cannot make a claim as pregnancy is not a medical condition.

has anyone else had this problem and what did you do ??

cheers.

Answer 1

Call the airport ahead of time and cancel the flight

P.S. Congratulations on the Baby

Answer 2

Get a note from your doctor because it still may be claimed as medical...depending on whether or not your wife's pregnancy may require more rest and more caution. Some cannot travel. And if her doctor sees that your wife is not comfortable with flying during pregnancy, then there may be a way around it.

But if you've booked with 'trip cancellation', then you can do so and get most of your money back. I know others who were not pregant and something serious came up and they had to cancel their holidays last minute. They had trip cancellation which saved them.

So if you have that also, that will help you.
