Here it is:
Cancellation and Curtailment:
You are not covered for...
b. anything not included in 'You are covered' above.
Which means that I'm definitely not covered if the FCO advises cancelling a
trip so I do (be crazy not to: none of my travel insurance applies then
anyway), or somesuch.


Also:

General Exclusions...
You are not covered for claims arising out of...
18. The bankruptcy or insolvency of a tour operator, travel agent,
transport company or accommodation supplier.

19. A tour operator failing to supply advertised facilities.


Both of which would be covered by the ABTA/ATOL bond.


Anyway, I'm genuinely interested in finding out which UK insurer/s cover
both at a reasonable price: I honestly thought none did.
I live and learn.

Slainte
