RESPONSE TO LOST BAGGAGE STATISTICS

12 June 2007

4th April 2007

Go Travel Insurance, a leading online travel insurance provider would like to encourage those travelling, either for a short break, holiday or gap year to make sure that their travel insurance policy covers lost baggage.

Go Travel Insurance’s Chief Executive, Christian Young said: “The figures published today show the importance of having your luggage covered when travelling abroad.  With the possibility of 12 passengers on a typical 747 flight losing their bags, the necessity to be properly covered becomes more apparent. There are some travel insurers who do not cover lost or stolen baggage as part of their standard cover so Go Travel Insurance would advise all passengers to shop around and check before purchasing a policy.

Go Travel Insurance is always working hard to look after our customers, our standard travel cover, including baggage, can start from as little as £3.95. This customer focus and value for money cover is just part of the reason that Go Travel Insurance is one of the fastest growing online and call centre travel insurance specialists in the UK & Ireland - operating 7 days a week.”
