Hi, I am due to travel to turkey in 2 weeks fir 14 days, but obviously due to the current virus situation my family are not going to go. I have travel insurance but when I read the document it has the following in it. You had to cancel your trip because something happened after the date you paid your premium, which you could not have been expected to foresee or avoid.B ut we won’t do anything if:
• you cancelled your trip because you didn’t feel like going away or because you couldn’t afford it anymore;
• you are unable to provide us with the information we may reasonably require to confirm the reason you cancelled your trip;
• you cancelled your trip due to a financial failure of an end supplier.

travel to turkey is not prohibited yet... but I am guessing if I say it was due to the virus pandemic I will not get a penny.?

    you would be making an insurance claim based on the FCO guidance " the FCO advises British nationals against all but essential international travel"
