When going on holiday you should always be very vigilant with regards to your health. With the spread of Swine flu across Britain it has never been more important. Passengers who are travelling by air or by sea are being monitored as they check in. If passengers appear to have swine flu symptoms the airline or cruise company has the right to stop the passenger from travelling.

There is confusion also over whether or not travel insurance will be valid to cover any medical treatment required or a cancelled trip. A British Airways spokesman advised that so far there had only been a low number of cases of people who had shown signs of swine flu and as a result had been advised not to fly.  If you are to due to travel over the coming weeks please follow the advice given by the professionals.
