Planning a holiday with the risk of a pregnancy.

ljs2k6

My partner an I are looking to book a holiday for March 2018 to Australia. Around 8months away. So. If *IF my girlfriend falls pregnant between now and then, do we get refunded the money with our holiday insurance? When booking with the airlines the - 'Easy Flexi Saver Economy' Ticket is £650per person which is no refund/cancellation policy. The 'Economy' Ticket which is £1066per person is refundable with fee's. Do i get the cheaper flights and just take out holiday insurance? Or pay the extra for the refundable ticket? Please help. +will the travel insurance cover us?

you can go on holiday while pregnant you know?

I doubt it - you'd have to check the policy. Insurance doesn't usually pay for risks you can envisage.

Why do you have to book it now? Just wait a few months and book it around November and if she does get pregnant, so what, should be fine to travel at around 4 months as long as you don't stop anywhere than needs vaccines.

I don't think you generally need vaccines for Australia but check this and also if you stop off anywhere en route.

You would have to check wether an insurance policy covers pregnancy and even then there would be excess to pay

March is a great month to visit Australia.
It seems if you couldn't go because of pregnancy, there would be a cost.
The minimum cost could be the excess on the insurance claim.
Perhaps just delay trying for a baby until you're back from Australia.

Some airlines are fussy at around 8 months also depending what you want to do it can be a struggle. But earlier is fine, assuming no vaccines etc required. Or complications.

Thanks all for the speedy replies, i think i will hold of booking the holiday until November, just like zagfles said. Hopefully the flights don't go up too much.

Remember babies can come early.

That's because they take after the father :rotfl:

I seem to remember quite a few discussions on here saying pregnancy isn't covered as a valid reason to cancel many holidays and get a refund, so be very careful. Sounds like you are wise to wait until nearer the time to decide on wether to book or not.
