Some airlines still automatically adding insurance

Some airlines operating in the UK and Europe are adding insurance automatically to their passengers' tickets at the time of booking, despite an EU ruling stating that this should not be permitted.

When buying an airline ticket with Jet2, Monarch or easyJet, travel insurance costing between £7 and £10.49 is added automatically, while an Air Berlin ticket also comes with a 12 euro (£10.20) cancellation insurance for day return flights.

However, those airlines that have stopped this practice, including Ryanair, British Airways and Wizz, do not meet consumer watchdog Which? standards when it comes to their single trip insurance policies.

Editor of Which? magazine Laura Cowan said: "If you've already got an insurance policy, or it doesn't provide the right amount of cover for you, it's as useless as no cover at all."

As of April 2nd this year, Ryanair reminded its passengers that they must buy their own travel insurance before they take trips abroad.
