Airlines typically charge 4x the price for a Refundable Ticket versus a Non-Refundable. Sometimes this price difference can be as high as 10x.

Use travel insurance with a strong cancellation benefit - ideally including 'Cancel for Work Reasons' and '[Cancel for Any Reason](/blog/cancel-for-any-reason-insurance/)' - and check out the cost savings. A $400 Non-Refundable flight with $40 of trip insurance has similar protections to a $1,600 Refundable flight.

### How does this work?

Well, the airline would prefer that you buy a very expensive refundable ticket. These are typically three or four times as expensive as a non-refundable. So, why do people buy Refundable? Well, they want the flexibility of cancellation and refund.

Our advice - stop paying the airline extra money so as to receive a refund upon cancellation.

Just pay for some simple 'Cancel for Any Reason' insurance, and gain all the benefits of this robust cover.

100% refund for regular cancellation reasons; 75% for Cancel for Any Reason.

Some restrictions apply, of course, so read the fine print.

Certainly, if a traveler needs to cancel he or she should typically do so two days before the intended travel date.

But, this is a great way to use travel insurance to help reduce costs instead of watching them increase.

Safe travels.

Easy purchase, be sure to buy all travel insurance policies very soon after the initial trip purchase, even if only partial payment.  This may increase your benefits if you need to file a clain.

Easy purchase

Love being able to compare multiple options, made it seem very tailored. Pricing seems fair.
