International Airlines Group (IAG), which owns both Iberia and British Airways, reported losses of 630million euros or roughly £531million. The news comes at a time when many people are considering travel.

 

IAG has been focusing on improving Iberia and feels it is making excellent progress but that there are more steps to come. There are no financial forecasts available at the moment since they are awaiting approval for the purchase of many new aircrafts which would positively affect numbers.

 

Talk about travel inevitably leads to considering your holiday plans, so whether you get to take a ride in one of the new Airbus models or use one of the existing planes, you will want to make sure that your holiday goes as smoothly as possible. Here is a brief list to help you organize your trip, including travel insurance.

 

And remember, write a checklist for all the things you want to bring and give yourself a few days to complete it:

 

• Always pack for different types of weather; variety is the spice of life.
• Secure travel plans well in advance of your departure date.
• When you know your destination, begin research on travel insurance options.
• Have important documents like passports in an easily accessible place.
• Find out the preferred spending method for your destination (i.e. debit cards, credit cards, travellers cheques).
• Remember to check with your employer to see if they offer travel insurance or discounts.
• Make a list of places you want to visit so you can coordinate trips to maximize time.
• Keep your travel insurance contact number in a safe spot for emergencies.

 

You can also check a few things about your travel insurance company, such as long term travel insurance or insurance for just the length of time you’ll be travelling. You may need some special types of cover depending on your destination.
