Travel Insurance

Under the new rules, which will apply to all passengers departing from EU airports, liquids will only be allowed on board planes in small containers with a maximum capacity of 100 milliliters.

These liquids — the rules cover creams, hair gels, pressurized containers and mascara among other items – must then be packed in a transparent re-sealable plastic bag.

Medicine and baby foods will be exempt as will drinks and perfumes bought at airport shops before boarding.

For many years there has been a blanket exclusion by the insurance companies to cover any terrorist related risks on their policies. Now, a number of travel insurance companies have removed some of the restrictions on their insurance in this area.

Both Travel insurance.ie (for Irish residents) and Travel Insurance Direct (UK & Irish residents) both offer cover for a number if terrorist related risks. You can find full details on their web sites:
