Summer is upon us, and vacation plans made in the chilly winter months are finally coming to fruition. Around 70% of Americans are planning a trip this summer, Squaremouth reports, but many of them are nervous about their adventure because of mounting flight delays and travel disruptions.
According to Squaremouth’s data, 48% of travelers say flight delays or cancellations are their top summer concern; up from 36% who expressed the same anxieties over a year ago. Vacations are often pricey, and these concerns are driving more customers to purchase travel insurance to protect this investment.
