Best COVID travel insurance
I have done a search for COVID travel insurance which returns a long list of providers. It would take a long time to go through these and read the T&Cs. So I was wondering if anyone had any experience of a great provider, and/or what kind of cover I should be getting. For example, would I be covered if government rules…

UK break - does any travel insurance cover curtailment due to being asked to self-isolate??
Have read Martin's guide to travel insurance but every relevant policy seems to just say they cover cancellation due to being asked to self-isolate before you leave home, or having to cut short the holiday due to getting covid (or loved one dying etc). I am most worried about losing half the holiday because of being told…

Antigen test in London (not home-kit) to travel to Italy
I'll fly to Italy next Saturday. New rules will come into effect on that day but being Italy I assume they'll be announced on Friday at 23:59 so I can only plan based on the current rules. So I need to do an antigen lateral flow test within 48 hours before arrival. I guess home kits are not accepted otherwise people would…

Day 2 Provider Experience
Return from Cancun on 12/08. Both jabbed and will have tests before arrival as required. Any experience of day 2 providers? And does the PLF gather the test booking details or do you need to provide separate documents to border control on arrival? Has anyone used VeriFLY? Maybe Butts has some input here?

If you started or ceased a business in 2020 to 2021 You should include the turnover received between April 2020 and April 2021, even if this covers less than 12 months. If you have…
