travel insurance

tom-9999

im going out to visit my parents in australia over xmas and the flights are quite expensive. with going to afghan next year i have courses to do which i hope do not coincide with going away but ive been told if they do i must cancel my leave and stay here. does anyone know if travel insurance will cover this and what companies will be best

You will have to read the terms of the Policy you bought. Basically, most insurances say you will get covered for cancellation for "redundancy that qualifies for payment under current redundancy legislation, cancellation of leave for British Forces, Police or government security staff, summoning to jury service or witness attandance in a court". If you just have a regular job, i.e. a plumber, and your boss says you can't go on holiday, I'm afraid you'll have to search very hard for an insurer to cover you!
