Ryanair Warns Passengers to Opt-In to Travel With Insurance
Ryanair, Europe?s largest low fares airline, today (25th Mar) warned that
passengers who wish to travel with the security of travel insurance must
now opt-in when they are making their booking on www.ryanair.com. Ryanair
advised passengers, especially those who rely on the comfort of preloaded
insurance cover, that they will no longer benefit from travel insurance
cover unless they opt-in for cover at the time of their booking.
Ryanair advises all passengers to ensure they hold adequate travel
insurance for each trip they take, especially those heading to ski slopes
or for summer sun where travel insurance can provide added peace of mind
and essential financial assistance when needed most.
Ryanair?s Stephen McNamara said:
?Ryanair carried 58million passengers last year and our preloaded insurance
did not cause any problems, passengers who did not want insurance simply
opted out. However, to ensure we continue to comply with EU Legislation we
have now moved to an opt-in process and advise passengers who frequently
use Ryanair travel insurance that they will no longer have insurance cover
for their journey if they do not opt-in for cover.
It is each passenger?s responsibility to buy travel insurance for their
trip, and they can secure great value travel insurance when booking their
flight on www.ryanair.com. Ryanair?s travel insurance has a great coverage
from costly medical treatments to cancellations and lost luggage, but
passengers are only covered if they opt-in.

As they are legally required to make it work, so as everybody else does
this, WTP?

No it's not. If I decide that I don't want it, then I am perfectly entitled
to make that decision
