Swine flu, travel to Mexico and travel insurance: Q&A

interogationShould I cancel my trip to Mexico?
The Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) maintains that so long as the Foreign Office is not advising against travel to Mexico and airlines continue to fly there, there is no reason for travellers to cancel their travel plans.

If I do cancel, would my travel insurance cover me?
So long as the Foreign Office does not advise against travel to Mexico, and airlines continue to fly there, travellers will not be able to claim any cancelations against their insurance policy.

Will I still be covered if I get ill in Mexico?
Again, until FCO travel advice changes, any trip to Mexico is still treated as a normal booking. So long as you have the right travel insurance policy, you will be covered for medical expenses in Mexico.

What if the Foreign Office advice changes?
Should the Foreign Office decide to advise against travel to Mexico, travellers would be entitled to cancel the trip and claim against their travel insurance. However, should they continue with their trip, they will not be covered for any medical expenses in Mexico.
