Ryanair Travel Insurance?

    Recently booked flights and meant to take out a multi-trip, and annual travel insurance policy via Ryanair for each passenger but left it on the long finger.

    I'm worried now however that if I add in the insurance policy as an extra now that we wouldn't actually be covered seeing as the policy wasn't taken out same time as the purchase of the flights?

    Trip isn't until May, so if I were to book the insurance now would it cover our trip in May, and say for any unforseen event such as flights being cancelled in the run up to then, or do you have to have cover in place or book it at the same time when booking the flights?

    Been reading conflicting reports online and can't find any confirmation of same on the Ryanair website.

    Also, I have anyone recommend Ryanair travel insurance in general, or any others to look out for? One passenger is in their 70s so that increases premiums big time, and but not so with Ryanair, the only have to pay double the excess in the event of a claim which I thought to be rather reasonable.

    Once none of those travelling are awaiting medical results or have been advised not to travel by a doctor they will be covered. Your cover will cover the flights unless a strike is announced before you take out cover. I'd take it out tonight, no point in waiting until nearer the date for something your going to take out anyways.

    It's an interesting one that they cover anyone over 65, I never knew they did and assumed they would be the last ever to provide it but fair play they do, the excess is double but very few insurers will cover anyone over 65.
