should be like any other insurance , you lie about illness on holiday and get done then the Travel Insurance companies are allowed to either refuse to insure you or heavily load you.

I'm surprised holiday companies do anything about it if it's a tummy bug. Years ago we went to Tunisia and nan fell really ill with what turned out to be dysentery. Thomsons both in resort and on writing to them afterwards werent helpful at all and tried to say it was anything else but the hotel.:T:T :beer: :beer::beer::beer: to the lil one

Years ago there weren't the no win no fee dodgy claims companies telling people making a claim is easier than booking a holiday. In recent years this has become an epidemic even though the number of people reporting that they are ill on holiday has fallen. Many operators thought it easier to pay up to make the claim go away than defend the claim at a cost of tens of thousands of pounds but have discovered that that idea only encourages more people to do so.0

and TUI strikes back

BRITISH holidaymakers who make false sickness claims face never being able to book a holiday with a tour operator again.
Travel giant TUI is starting to blacklist tourists it suspects of making bogus compensation bids.
Other operators like Thomas Cook and Jet2 are also set to join TUI – which owns First Choice and Thomsons.
The firms could soon start to share their banned list of customers to protect themselves from future claims – leaving excluded tourists struggling to book a breakEx forum ambassador

So it's impossible to book a break with using a TA:p

I'm assuming the problem seems to be largely with customers using packaged AI with the major companies .Ex forum ambassador

It's got nothing to do with TAs. The claims are only applicable to AI holidays, the vast majority of which are still booked via a tour operator. It's these guests that the low life companies are targeting with the sales patter and encouragement to make fraudulent claims.0 -
I think you'll find that the bit of Browntoa's post you quoted was a direct quote from the article in The Sun.
So maybe it's that newspaper that needs to 'get real'. :whistle:
Wasn't meant to be aimed at Browntoa-
Apologise if it came out that way

TA's, TO's
No difference in my book, still clinging to the myth that to book any kind of holiday you need these "experts"
Still if it keeps that kind of clientele away from the real world that's fine by me.0
