Help please - package v seperate question

[m1ckeymouse]

Hi All

Hope someone can help. To cut a long story short it looks like we are dropping the flights from our travel agent package (deposit already pd) and booking them direct with VA. Our travel agent is trying to convince us that there will be an insurance issue booking seperately as opposed to a package. I thought the only extra security you had booking a package is if the company goes bust, is this correct? I am assuming that things such as flights being cancelled due to snow etc are no more likely to be covered via a package than seperately (we have annual travel ins at all times anyway and it is a fab policy).

Any help greatly appreciated before I press the button and save a few £.

Thanks All
Suzanne

Some travel insurance policys have a bit in there that is about diy packages, cant remember who it was or their wording, it was when i was looking for ash cloud cover that i noticed it in their wording
