Backpackers delayed in airports could benefit from cheap travel insurance

Backpackers who could benefit from online travel insurance are among the thousands of passengers angered by security checks and flight delays.

A survey carried out by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has shown that many airlines suffer the brunt of anger from backpackers who want to check-in or pick up their baggage more quickly than the airport will allow.

That means many airlines are being wrongly blamed for the inconvenience of security checks and other procedures implemented by airports that often slow down check-ins.

Backpackers will often be travelling on a tight schedule and can find their travel plans threatened because of slow check-in procedures at airports.

If the delays cause them to miss their flight, backpackers could benefit from having taken out a gap year travel insurance policy that could enable them to recoup their losses.

It has recently been reported by Shelter Offshore that backpackers looking for some extra money could travel the world following harvesting seasons.

Many backpackers could see much of the world over the course of a year and pay for it by getting work as seasonal labourers picking produce at locations across the globe.
