"The biggest mistake I see travelers make is buying insurance the day before they fly. You should buy your policy the second you book your flights or hotel. If you wait until the last minute and your airline goes bust or you fall ill a week before the trip, you aren't covered. Buy early - it costs the same, but protects you for longer."
