Let's look at this logically for a minute...At work, I pass amounts of about $2500, $900, $800 etc on people's credit cards for flights. Before processing payment, I always tell people the flight is non-refundable and recommend they take a travel insurance to cover their investment. 98% of people decline the insurance. About 25% of those people call back and ask if they can 1)change their flight or 2) get reimbursed because they can no longer travel.
To avoid paying an extra $200 up front, these people are CHOOSING to forfeit in some cases up to $2300 (or more!!!) if they cannot make their flight.
A couple of months ago, I asked you to please say "Hi!" and be nice to your Tim Horton's employees... now I'm asking you to take a travel insurance when you travel!!!
Because insurance is for the unforseen: News flash. I know. But you don't know how many people per day I recommend it to and their response is usually "no, I never get sick"... Or the worst: "my 86 year-old mum has been pretty stable for the past month or so"...
My rant is done.

good point. however, i never get insurance, because i figure for the five trips that i don't get insurance on, i have saved 1000 bucks. and so if one trip gets cancelled unforeseen, i break even.. right? at least that's what i like to tell myself. haha
