which insurance

I have just booked flights and transfers with Thomas Cook airlines, within Europe, and a hotel with Hotels 4 u for 9 nights in April. I have always bought package holidays before and have felt relatively unconcerned about the risk but due to buying seperately, the current economic climate, natural disasters, weather, strikes etc I feel I must get adequate travel insurance.

Can anyone advise me on what I should be looking for, who offers particularly good cover etc? I booked everything on a credit card (at an additional cost of £40!) hoping it would give extra cover should anything go awry!

    Like yourself I just booked a diy holiday today and was looking for travel insurance. I tried a local agent here in Northern Ireland and their insurance is covered by AXA and includes Independent Travellers Cover. Might be worth seeing if you can get that. Our insurance worked out at £29.17 for 2 of us in our 50's for a week in Majorca, end of May. First time we have been offered this type of cover.
