Spring Break Travel: Cancellations Surge, Insurance & Options

0:00This is Durham News Today, powered by AI and presented by the Daily News Now. Spring Break Travel is seeing a big drop in bookings this year. Tensions in the Middle East and unrest in Mexico have many people canceling trips. Cancelations for future getaways, including Spring Break, are running about 60% higher than usual. Travel insurance companies are noticing the spike, especially after recent escalations overseas. Policies can cover up to 75% of non-refundable costs, like flights and hotels. But coverage varies by location, with some events like Acts of War often excluded. Travelers are playing it safe, opting out to avoid potential risks during this busy season. Families and groups are weighing the uncertainty against their vacation plans. Even without insurance, there are options out there. Airlines may wave change fees or issue full refunds, so check your booking portal or emails right away. Hotels and rental platforms could offer similar help too.
