Pay for the Trip with a Credit Card
If the trip can go as planned but you yourself or someone in your traveling party should become ill and have to cancel the trip, it is good to have booked with a credit card. In this way, you get another contracting party and can direct the same demands to both the creditor and the tour operator. In addition, many credit card companies usually offer some benefits and insurances during trips – such as cancellation protection and in currency surcharges. Again, it is important to be aware that cancellation protection only applies if you or someone in your travel party becomes ill and cannot travel. This does not apply if you want to cancel the trip due to concerns or travel interruptions.
Check the general complaints board’s public information

Last year, the board made some guiding decisions regarding when consumers should have the right to get their money back for canceled trips that were canceled with reference. Both when it comes to package tours and air travel. This public information is used to publish lists of companies that do not comply with the board’s decisions. Among other things, consumers newspaper publishes a black list which is based on data from the general complaints board. A service you must subscribe to in order to access the list. If you feel unsure about what applies to your trip, it may be an idea to start a subscription. Once you have received the information you need from the list, you can unsubscribe immediately.
Add re-bookable ticket
As mentioned above, cancellation protection only applies in the event of illness. If there is a travel stop or the like, the insurance does not apply. Therefore, it is good if you either add a so-called cancellation guarantee, which means that you can cancel whenever you want without reason, or a re-bookable flight ticket that gives you free re-booking within the same price level and travel route with the same airline.
